Dermoid cyst of the floor of the mouth is an uncommon lesion that presents as a solitary mass, painless, with no history of fever or drainage, usually in the midline, and commonly in the upper level space mylohyoid.

The treatment was carried out in both complete surgical removal through an incision in the ventral surface of the tongue.
