Shweta Dwivedy, Nivedita Tayde, Kanchan Lambe

Abstract


Nasopalatine duct cyst is considered to be the most common non-odontogenic cyst in the maxillofacial region. It is a developmental, epithelial, non-neoplastic cyst that develops in only a single anatomical location – the midline anterior maxilla. Nasopalatine cysts are usually asymptomatic and are often discovered incidentally during routine radiological examination. Present case modelled a diagnostic plight by minimal clinical presentation and investigative findings.
