Abstract

Epidermoid cysts are rare benign lesions in the oral cavity that may be either congenital or acquired. The cysts are usually slow-growing and asymptomatic until becoming secondarily infected or large enough to interfere with mastication and speech. Consequently, diagnosis is often delayed. The condition is also uncommon in newborns and infants. Most of the lesions occur in the floor of the mouth and rarely in the upper lip. This report describes the case of a 29-month-old girl with a palpable mass in the inner mucosa of the upper lip. The lesion was surgically enucleated using an intraoral approach and histopathologically diagnosed as epidermoid cyst.

유표피낭종은 구강 내에서 드물게 보이는 양성병소이며 선천적 혹은 후천적으로 발생할 수 있다. 이 병소는 대개 느리게 자라는 낭종으로, 저작이나 발음을 방해 할 정도로 크기가 커지거나 2차 감염이 발생하기 전 까지는 주로 무증상을 보인다. 따라서 진단이 지연되는 경우가 많으며, 신생아나 영유아에서 진단되는 경우는 매우 드문 병소이다. 유표피낭종은 대부분 구강저에서 발생하며 상순에서의 발생은 드물다. 이 증례에서는 29개월 환아의 상순 내측 점막에서 촉진되는 종물을 구강 내 접근법을 이용하여 외과적으로 적출하고, 조직 병리학적으로 유표피 낭종으로 진단하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
