Abstract

Epidermoid cysts can occur anywhere in the body but are uncommon in the orofacial region, with a 7% incidence in the head and neck and 1.6% in the oral cavity. We diagnosed two cases in the left cheek and successfully operated on them through an intraoral approach.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
