Dermoid and epidermoid cysts are benign tumours developing from dystonic elements of the epidermal tissue during embryogenesis. They occur in different maxillofacial regions but are especially common at the bottom of the mouth and in the submandibular region; fewer cysts are located in the paotid region. A case of parotid dermoid cyst is reported.
