Abstract
OSTROSKY, A.; LUBERTI, R.; MARESO, E. and KLURFAN FEDERICO, J.. Presentation of a dermoid cyst case with an unusual location. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2005, vol.27, n.1, pp.37-42. ISSN 2173-9161.
The Dermoid Cyst is a benign pathology of embrionary origin and its localization in the floor of the mouth is not very frequent. With no preference for sex, it appears especially between the second and third decades of life. Computed scans and magnetic nuclear reso-nances are useful for its diagnosis. The treatment is surgical and recurrences, as well as malignant transformation, are exceptional.
Keywords : Dermoid cyst; Teratogenic cyst; Epidermoid cyst.
