Abstract |
: |
Dermoid cyst (DC) is a cystic form of teratoma, They are commonly presented in the midline of the floor of
the mouth although they are found in other soft tissue locations. One hypothesis for their etiology is that they
arise from entrapment of epithelial debris or rests during the midline fusion of the first 2 branchial arches.
Excision of the dermoid cyst is often the treatment of choice. The extraoral approach is necessary when the
cysts lies under the geniohyoid muscle causing deglutition and respiratory problems. On the other hand, the
intra-oral approach is effective for the treatment of large lesions and led to very good cosmetic and functional
results.
The different treatment approaches for two large Des are presented, the extraoral approach was utilized for
a patient who presented to the ER with respiratory problem while the intraoral approach was performed and
led to good esthetic results without recurrence. |
