Dermoid cysts of the buccal floor are uncommon lesions, typically found in young individuals. Herein, we report the case of a 15-year-old patient referred by her general practitioner after MRI evaluation. The patient complained of dysphagia with solid foods and aesthetic discomfort due to a swelling under her chin, which led to teasing at school. She exhibited no signs of severity. Imaging revealed a sizable buccal floor cyst measuring 7 cm × 4 cm × 3 cm. Surgical excision was performed via a dual approach, intraoral and cervical, with straightforward postoperative recovery. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a dermoid cyst. Management of dermoid cysts remains exclusively surgical, with rare recurrences dependent on complete excision quality. Prognosis is favorable.
