  • Abstract
    Objective: To report a case of nasolabial cyst, which is a rare lesion arising in the maxillofacial tissues.Case Report: A 56-year-old man presented with a painless right nasolabial cyst. The swelling was soft, fluctuating, non-tender, 2.8 X 2.6cm, with subcutaneous tissue causing obliteration of the nasolabial fold. Computed tomography scan revealed a nonodontogenic cyst in the nasolabial area with minimal bony erosion and some scalloping in adjacent bone. The lesion was removed surgically under general anesthesia.The nasal and buccal structures healed well without any recurrence.Conclusion: Nasolabial cysts are rare. Common presentation is a well-confined painless swelling. Surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice with low recurrence rate
