Abstract
Cystic diseases of the oral floor include retention cyst, epidermoid cyst, branchial cyst and thyroglossal duct cyst etc. They resemble each other from the clinically view and thus some difficulties are often encountered in their diagnoses.Thyroglossal duct cyst is a relatively common congenital anomaly which usually occurs in the anterior midline of the neck but rarely occurs in the oral floor. This cyst mostly occurs before twenties but rarely occurs after thirties.The authors recently experienced a case of thyroglossal duct cyst of the oral floor in a 39-year-old man.This type of cyst is generally approached by Sistrunk method which removes the hyoid bone together with the criminal cyst. However, only the cyst was removed in this case because it showed no adhesion to the hyoid bone.
