Overview

The term "dermoid cyst" was first coined by Leblanc, in 1831 following the removal of a lesion that resembled skin at the base of a horse's skull.[1] Dermoid cysts were first described in 1885 by Bytlin. In 1891, Chairi was the first to propose that the tumors in the floor of the mouth originated from the entrapment of epidermoid cells during the embryonic age.[2]
