Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are infrequently found in the oral and neck region. Among the cases reported, several noted large epidermoid cysts are located in the floor of the mouth, with a maximum size of about 8 cm. Herein, we present a case of a large epidermoid cyst sized 11 cm × 9 cm × 9 cm, which was located in the floor of the mouth and reached the submandibular area across the mylohyoid muscle.
