RESUMEN
El quiste epidermoide es una entidad dermatológica frecuente, siendo muy rara su ubicación en la cavidad oral, con una mayor prevalencia a nivel de la cavidad oral. Es considerada de etiología congénita, aunque se presenta predominantemente en adulto jóvenes. Generalmente son masas bien circunscritas, decrecimiento lento y asintomáticos, aunque los ubicados en la cavidad oral y orofaringe pueden provocar trastornos fonatorios, deglutorios y respiratorios. El diagnóstico es clínico, siendo el diagnóstico diferencial con los quistes dermoides y teratoides solo posible con el estudio histopatológico. El tratamiento es quirúrgico y elpronóstico favorable sin recidivas. Se presenta un caso de quiste epidermoide localizado en la úvula palatina, en un varón de 6 meses de vida, tratado quirúrgicamente, con la excéresis del tumor por un abordaje trasoral
ABSTRACT
The epidermoid cyst is a frequent dermatological entity, being very rare its location in theoral cavity, with a higher prevalence at the level of the floor of the oral cavity. It is considered of congenitaletiology, although it occurs predominantly in young adults. They are generally well circumscribed, slowgrowing and asymptomatic masses, although those located in the oral cavity and oropharynx can causephonatory, swallowing and respiratory disorders. The diagnosis is clinical, being the differential diagnosiswith the dermoid and teratoid cysts only possible with the histopathological study. The treatment is surgicaland the prognosis is favorable without relapses. We present a case of epidermoid cyst located in uvula, in amale of 6 months of life, treated surgically, with the tumor excision by a transoral approach
