Abstract

Introduction: Epidermoid cysts (ECs) are rare and occur in the head and neck regions with an incidence from 1.6 to 7% of all cysts. In the oral cavity, approximately 80 ECs have been reported, representing less than 0.01% of all cysts.

Case report: We report a case of a 26-year-old man who developed a large EC in the midline floor of the mouth causing nodular swelling in the submental region and speech and swallowing difficulties. The lesion was surgically excised by intraoral approach and microscopically revealed an EC associated with extensive elastofibromatous changes in the cystic capsule.

Conclusion: Oral EC with extensive elastofibromatous changes is a finding extremely rare. The meaning of this finding is unknown, but a traumatic origin or deposit disorder of elastic fibers is suggested. To the best of our knowledge, intraoral EC with elastofibromatous changes has not been reported to date.

口腔内表皮样囊肿伴广泛弹性纤维瘤样改变:罕见的发现。

简介:表皮样囊肿(ECs)是一种罕见的疾病，多发生于头颈部，占所有囊肿的1.6 - 7%。在口腔中，大约有80例ECs被报道，占所有囊肿的不到0.01%。病例报告:我们报告一例26岁的男子谁发展了一个大EC在口腔中线底引起结节性肿胀在颏下区域和语言和吞咽困难。病变经口内入路手术切除，镜下发现囊性囊膜内有广泛的弹性纤维瘤样改变。结论:口腔癌伴广泛弹性纤维瘤改变极为罕见。这一发现的意义是未知的，但创伤起源或弹性纤维沉积紊乱提出。据我们所知，口腔内EC伴弹性纤维瘤改变尚未见报道。
