Abstract

The epidermoid cyst is a benign, non-odontogenic lesion, with an average prevalence of 1.6% to 7.0% of all cysts. It is derived from ectodermal tissue, covered by stratified squamous epithelium. The most frequent location is on the floor of the mouth, followed by the tongue, buccal mucosa and lower lip. It is generally asymptomatic and slow growing. Its timely diagnosis is of great importance, because over time it could become infected causing complications. We present the case of a 52-year-old male patient, who attended a consultation due to the sensation of bulging in the left lower oral mucosa. Excisional biopsy and microscopic analysis are performed. In the postoperative controls there is no evidence of recurrence.
