Abstract
Epidermal cysts in mouth floor are rare. There could be confusions in diagnosis due to location and low incidence. For diagnosis, imaging study and cytology are necessary. The treatment of choice is complete excision intraorally or externally and the recurrence is rare. Some authors prefer sclerotherapy, but the follow up is necessary for malignant change. We report two cases of epidermoid cyst in submental area excised externally with literature review.
