Lingual dermoid cysts are uncommon. To date, there have been twenty reported cases. We report an additional case of lingual dermoid cyst. The patient was a sixteen-year-old girl. She was referred to our clinic for painful tongue swelling. A firm, tender lingual mass with purulent drainage from the midline of the dorsum of the tongue was noted. After treatment with antibiotics and drainage, the size of the mass reduced gradually. Eight months later, regrowth of the mass was observed. The mass was totally excised via an oral and external approach. According to histopathological examination, the mass was diagnosed as dermoid cyst.
