Abstract

We have experienced one case of a large dermoid cyst in the sublingual area of a 33 years old female. By using the Magnetic Resonance Imaging technique, we reconized its availability to grasp size, internal quality and site of lesion according to differences in signal intensity between Ti and T2 values at each tissue.
