ABSTRACT
Dermoid cysts are congenital malformations that are rarely observed in the oral cavity. They appear as slow growing, solitary, nontender masses. We report a case of a 27 year old postnatal primipara who developed a huge sublingual dermoid cyst which rapidly grew and increased in size during pregnancy, was diagnosed in the postnatal period and treated successfully. The diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically as a dermoid cyst. Regular followup over a period of three years revealed no evidence of recurrence. The differential diagnosis, classification and management of the lesion are also discussed
