ABSTRACT
Dermoids are rare lesions affecting the nasopharynx. Dermoids are composed of two germinal layers, ectoderm and mesoderm. They usually diagnosed at birth or shortly thereafter. The male-to-female ratio is 1：6 in cases of dermoids. Symptoms are dependent on the size and location of the lesion. The patients with large lesion present dyspnea, severe difficulties in sucking, feeding immediately after birth. They are treated by simple surgical excision. Recurrences are rare. We report an unusual case of dermoid in nasopharynx appeared in a 48 year old women presenting snoring. The dermoid was treated with simple surgical excision using the intraoral approach.
