Carbon dioxide-laser microsurgical median glossotomy for resection of lingual dermoid cysts.
Dermoid cysts are epithelial-lined cavities with skin adnexae in the capsule. Only 7% present in the head and neck. Between 2004 and 2013, 4 patients with a lingual dermoid cyst underwent a microsurgical carbon dioxide (CO²) laser resection via a median sagittal glossotomy approach. This approach is...

| description | Dermoid cysts are epithelial-lined cavities with skin adnexae in the capsule. Only 7% present in the head and neck. Between 2004 and 2013, 4 patients with a lingual dermoid cyst underwent a microsurgical carbon dioxide (CO²) laser resection via a median sagittal glossotomy approach. This approach is an elegant technique combining superior visualization, hemostasis, and little postoperative edema with good wound healing, allowing for perfect function preservation of the tongue. |
