Sublingual Dermoid Cyst with Cervical Extention

Dermoid cysts of the floor of the mouth are rare, although they may involve any area in the midline of the neck. By determining the correct extension of the cyst through the neck prior to surgery, total excision by intraoral or transcervical approach will provide adequate management. However, inadequate intraoral excision of the mass that exceeds mylohyoid muscle and extends through neck will result in recurrence. In this article, we wanted to remind the sublingual dermoid cysts with a case having previous intraoral insufficient excision and, therefore, recurrent mass excised via transcervical approach.

Servikal Uzanýmlý Sublingual Dermoid Kist

Dermoid kistler boyun orta hattýnda herhangi bir bölgede bulunabilmekle birlikte, aðýz tabanýnda nadir görülür. Cerrahi öncesi kistin boyun uzanýmý doðru belirlenip intraoral veya transservikal yaklaþýmla tam olarak çýkarýlmalarý yeterli tedaviyi saðlayacaktýr. Ancak mylohiyoid kasý aþýp boyuna uzanan kitlelerde intraoral yolla yetersiz kitle eksizyonu nüksle sonuçlanacaktýr. Biz yazýmýzda intraoral yolla yetersiz tedavi edilen ve bu nedenle nükseden, transservikal yaklaþýmla tedavi ettiðimiz bir olgu ile sublingual dermoid kistleri hatýrlatmak istedik.
