Dermoid cysts are uncommon, benign congenital lesions of
ectodermal origin that can occur in any region of the body. They arise
from epithelial rests during embryogenesis. Nearly 7% occur in the
head-neck region, and they represent less than 0.01 % of all cavity
cysts. They are usually diagnosed during the 2nd and 3rd decade
of life, and rarely present in children. A case of dermoid cyst in the
sublingual region in a 4-year-old female child was presented. The
floor of the mouth is the most common location in the oral cavity
and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any midline
lesion. Treatment is surgical excision.
