Abstract

Epidermal cysts in mouth floor are rare. There could be confusions in diagnosis due to location and low inci-dence. For diagnosis, imaging study and cytology are necessary. The treatment of choice is complete excision in-traorally or externally and the recurrence is rare. Some authors prefer sclerotherapy, but the follow up is neces-sary for malignant change. We report two cases of epidermoid cyst in submental area excised externally with literature review.
