Abstract

Sublingual dermoid cysts are rare lesions. Typically they present as slow-growing masses that may cause elevation of the tongue, interference with speech or the appearance of a double chin. We report the first case of malignant transformation to squamous cell carcinoma of a long-standing sublingual dermoid cyst.
