THE DERMOID CYST OF THE ANTERIOR FLOOR OF THE MOUTH WITH REGARDS TO A CLINICAL CASE.

The dermoid cyst is a cyst development that occurs most frequently in young adults, sometimes even at birth. It is due to the cystic alteration of residual epithelial inclusions at the junction of the pharyngeal arches along the midline. Therefore, it can basically be located anywhere on the midline, where structures are formed by the union of the pharyngeal branches. The dermoid cyst is typically located at the floor of the mouth, in the midline, sometimes also occurring paramedian on this level. The treatment of these cystic formations is strictly surgical. In this paper we present the case of a 20-year old young male, who requested our services and presenting this pathology which involved a specialized diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
