Epidermoid cysts are developmental cystic malformations that are rarely observed in the submental region. Most of the patients present with a painless slow growing lump. We report a rare case of giant epidermoid cyst in 19-year-old male patient complaining of submental swelling. The differential diagnosis included dermoid cyst, epidermoid, plunging ranula, and abnormalities during embryonic development. The lesion was surgically excised using an extra-oral approach. The histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst.
