An interesting case of Nasolabial cyst

M.Stephen Dhanapal .

Abstract


Nasolabial cyst is a rare nonodontogenic, soft tissue cyst occurring in the sublabial area and                   anteriormaxillary region. The nasolabial cyst is classified as a fissural cyst, found outside the bone, and on the  region corresponding to the nasolabial furrow and alar nose. This cyst is frequently asymptomatic with the most usual sign being alar nose elevation. In spite of the low occurrence of nasolabial cysts, it is important to recognise the clinical characteristics of this lesion. The patient usually presents with a slowly enlarging asymptomatic swelling. They are usually diagnosed in early stages because of cosmetic problems. In our paper we report a nasolabial cyst of a 48 year old male and discuss the diagnosis and treatment.
