Cysts of Oral Mucosa
- · Oral mucosal cysts are generally well-defined in their borders, non-tender and slow-growing. The mucosa looks normal unless it is injured.
- The most common is an epidermoid or dermoid cyst, which grows on the floor of the mouth. Treatment is surgical removal.
- A gingival cyst is often located near the first molars. A simple surgical excision is recommended as a treatment.
- A lymphoepithelial cyst occurs when the epithelium is trapped in lymph tissue.
- An excisional biopsy is an ideal treatment. Thyroglossal tract cysts form between the foramen cecum and thyroid gland. Complete removal is recommended
