Nasolabial cyst: A Rare Case report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
The nasolabial cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst originating in maxillofacial soft tissues. These cysts are uncommon lesions located near the alar cartilage and extend to the inferior nasal meatus, superior alveo labial groove and floor of the nasal vestibule. These cyst appear as a swelling in the canine fossa, upper lip, gingivolabial sulcus, nasal alae and nasal vestibule7 . With increasing size, nasoalveolar cyst may impinge on the antero inferior turbinate and push against the septum. Treatment consists of enucleation being preformed through intraoral access, with an incision in the vestibular sulcus. As the cyst walls are intimately related to the mucosa of the nasal floor in the majority of cases, the surgical maneuver may result in tearing of this mucosa. In such cases suturing must be performed with absorbable suture in order to prevent the development of an oronasal communication. Recurrence is rare and the prognosis excellent.
