Dermoidcyst are usually seen as a slow growing benign painless mass. The treatment of choice for dermoid cysts is surgical enucleation. The most common location in the head and neck region is the external third of the eyebrow. Sublingual location is very rare. They are benign lesions arising from entrapment of epithelial rests during embryogenesis. Due to its malignant potential, understanding about this lesion is very essential. With the help of radiological investigation like MRI the precise location, extension and relationship of the cyst with the surrounding structures can be identified. Here we represent a case of sublingual swelling in a twenty year old female patient who was treated by surgically excision under general anesthesia. To conclude with proper radiological investigation dermoid cyst in the floor of the mouth can be managed by surgical excision.
