Dermoid and epidermoid cysts are congenital or acquired benign developmental cysts that uncommonly occur in the head and neck region. These cysts represent less than 0.01% of all cysts of the oral cavity and can be found on the tongue, lips and other oral mucosa locations. The palate is less frequently affected with most reported cysts being limited to the soft palate. In this study, we report a case of a dermoid cyst of the hard palate, and discuss its management with a review of the literature.
