Introduction

Dermoid and epidermoid cysts are rare benign lesions in the oral cavity, commonly affecting the floor of the mouth. Though typically slow-growing, large cysts can impair speech, mastication, and swallowing, necessitating surgical intervention.

Case Report

A 75-year-old man presented with a 9-cm sublingual lesion, progressively growing over 10 years and causing functional discomfort. Imaging revealed a well-defined cyst. Surgical excision via an intraoral approach was successful. Histopathology confirmed an epidermoid cyst.

Conclusion

Surgical removal of large sublingual cysts can significantly restore oral function and quality of life. Accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment are essential for optimal outcomes.
