    Author: Kim JP, Park JJ, Jeon SY, Ahn SK, Hur DG, Kim DW, Park HW, Woo SH.
    Journal: Head Neck; 2012 Jun; 34(6):907-10. PubMed ID: 21254297.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Surgical removal of a dermoid cyst is usually accomplished through an external neck incision. However, this procedure inevitably results in a neck scar. METHODS: We report the case of a 17-year-old woman with a submental mass. We implemented a modified approach to dermoid cyst removal through the floor of the mouth using an endoscope system. RESULTS: The patient received a modified approach to dermoid cyst removal and remains free of disease 6 months after excision. CONCLUSION: Resection of the submental type dermoid cyst can be performed by an intraoral endoscope-assisted approach through the floor of the mouth. We describe the procedure of the endoscope-assisted intraoral resection.
