Abstract
Dermoid cysts are benign tumours of ectodermal origin, commonly seen in young. The clinico-radiological presentation of dermoids can be equivocal, like in our case of a teenager who had painless swelling of floor of mouth. Radiological findings were consistent with cystic lesion but histopathological examination proved it as dermoid cyst.
