This is the report of a clinical case aimed at making emphasis on the importance of
an adequate preoperative diagnostic management in order to set a right surgical
planning in the excision of this type of lesions in the cervicofacial region. A 13 years-old patient, who had noticed a rounded growth under his chin for three years,
which caused discomfort on speaking and mild effects on its facial esthetics. After
the preoperative supplementary studies, it was decided to make surgery by using
medial cervicotomy for excision of cystic lesion due to the anatomical location of
the cyst below the mylohyoid muscle and to its great dimension. The
