Abstract
Oral lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare benign cystic lesion affecting the oral cavity; mainly the floor of the mouth. It was reported to affect patients with a wide age range extending from childhood to geriatrics. It is treated by conservative surgical excision with excellent prognosis. A case of 2-month old infant presented with a congenital asymptomatic white dome-shaped swelling in the floor of the mouth. The lesion was reported to resolve spontaneously with no intervention. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a congenital oral lymphoepithelial cyst. We recommend the follow up of the cases of infants and children as resolution may occur spontaneously with no need for intervention.
