Abstract
We report a rare heterotopic gastrointestinal cyst located in the right sub mandibular/submental area with histopathologic features that included porti ons resembling a dermoid cyst. Some theories of pathogenesis are discussed, and an origin of this lesion in entrapped undifferentiated endodermal cell s is suggested.
