description Non-odontogenetic oral cysts are rare occurrences in adults, especially when located in the oropharynx. We report a 35-year-old man with an oral cyst large enough to cause dysphagia of several years’ duration. The location of the swelling combined with the patient’s delay in seeking care and limited access to diagnostic tools prolonged the resolution of this case. Eventual puncture and marsupialization of the mass resulted in symptom relief. The patient remains cyst-free four years later.
