Abstract
- Nasolabial cyst is a rare non-odonotogenic, soft-tissue, developmental cyst arising inferior to the nasoalar region of the face. The most common clinical finding of the nasolabial cyst is that of a slowly enlarging asymptomatic swelling typically without radiographic abnormalities. This case report describes a 25-year-old man in which the clinicopathologic findings and an erosive finding on the computed tomographic scan on maxilla were consistent with nasolabial cyst. The histopathologic features, differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis are discussed.
