Abstract

Nasopalatine cysts are developing cysts that are not odontogenic. These are the most common asymptomatic cysts in the oral cavity, and they appear as a bulge in the front maxillary region. Nasopalatine duct cyst is more common in men in their fourth to sixth decades of life. The objective of this study is to review the prevalence, epidemiology and clinical presentation, to describe the radiographic and pathological findings, and to explain surgical management of this entity in a 11-year-old female patient.
