The congenital form results from defective embryonic development and the acquired form may be due to traumatic or iatrogenic causes; and as a result of the occlusion of a sebaceous gland duct. We report an unusual case of huge dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth in a 12 year old male who presented with progressively increasing swelling below his tongue and reviewed the relevant literature.
