title: A case of large dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth.
abstract: Dermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth are rarely observed. When they develop, they do not appear until they grow large enough or appear through infection. Some operative approaches and management have been performed to large dermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth with some variations. Intra-oral approach is the most useful for cosmetic appearance. We presented a 24-year-old female who underwent expedient surgical excision using finger end serviceable enucleation through the intra-oral approach.
