[Dermoid cyst of the tongue].
An epidermoid cyst of the tongue with sinus tract is discussed. Its interest comes from the fact that histologic sections show sinus tract wall and epidermoïd cyst wall made with the same major characteristics of skin structures. Both have therefore the same embryologic origin. Adequate treatment is surgical excision.
