Because the term 'dermoid' is frequently used in the literature, some authors believe that this term should be used for all congenital cysts of the floor of the mouth. Three subclasses of congenital floor of the mouth cysts are described in the literature: (1) epidermoid (simple) cysts, (2) dermoid (complex) cysts and (3) teratoid (complex) cysts. The teratoid cyst is the least common. Most of these cases present during the second and third decades of life, thus presentation during infancy is extremely rare. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We present a 2-month old male who underwent expedient surgical excision for progressive airway compromise secondary to a teratoid cyst of the floor of the mouth. Radiographic and histopathologic evidence, as well as a review of the literature is presented.
由于“皮样囊肿”一词在文献中经常使用，一些作者认为该术语应用于所有口底先天性囊肿。文献中描述了口底先天性囊肿的三个亚类：（1）表皮样（单纯性）囊肿，（2）皮样（复杂性）囊肿和（3）畸胎样（复杂性）囊肿。畸胎样囊肿最不常见。这些病例大多在生命的第二个和第三个十年出现，因此在婴儿期出现极为罕见。手术切除是首选治疗方法。我们报告一名2个月大的男性，因口底畸胎样囊肿导致进行性气道受压而接受了紧急手术切除。本文提供了影像学和组织病理学证据以及文献综述。
