“…It is hypothesized that it originates from epithelial remnants that remain during the fusion of lateral nasal and median processes [ 5 ]. According to other investigators, it comes from the peripheral part of the nasolacrimal duct epithelium [ 5 , 6 ].…”

Nasolabial cysts are rare non-odontogenic cysts related to epithelial remnants of the nasolacrimal duct, slowly enlarging and provoking extraoral swelling in the nasolabial fold with obstruction of the naris. Two patients of large unilateral nasolabial cysts are reported, appearing as cosmetically unappealing distention of the nasolabial fold. Diagnosis is based on clinical characteristics. Computed tomography imaging reveals the dimensions of the cyst, the correlation to the nasal cavity and might depict a depression on the labial surface of the maxilla. Intraoral surgical enucleation of the cystic wall or nasal marsupialization is the main treatment modalities. However, both procedures are related to a small percentage of recurrence. Microsurgical instruments were used to dissect the cystic wall from the nasal mucosa. The aim of this paper is to stress the implementation of microsurgical instruments to separate the cystic wall of the nasolabial cyst from the thin and friable nasal mucosa to avoid recurrence.

“…It was first described by Zuckerkandl in 1882 [ 1 ]. Currently, it is considered as a developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic cyst that occurs in the nasal alar region [ 2 ]. Its prevalence is estimated to occur in 1.6 per 100 000 persons per year.…”

The nasolabial cyst is a rare, non-odontogenic, soft tissue cyst that develops submucosally in the anterior nasal floor. This cyst accounts for 0.7% of all non-odontogenic cysts. Bilateral nasolabial cyst represents only 10% of the cases. This cyst originates from the remnants of embryonic nasolacrimal duct tissue. Generally, patients present with swelling and facial deformity and rarely local pain. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological and above all histopathologic findings. The treatment is enucleation of the cystic tissue. Following is a case report of a bilateral nasolabial cyst in a 40-year-old woman who presented with a chronic nasal obstruction.

“…Most cases are unilateral; the incidence rate of bilateral cysts is about 10%. 5 Nasolabial cysts usually grow slowly, and there are often no obvious symptoms or physical signs in the early stage. With the gradual enlargement of a nasolabial cyst, a soft quasi-circular bulge appears at the bottom of the nasal cavity accompanied by a sense of fluctuation and generally no tenderness.…”

Objective To compare the clinical diagnostic value of ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for nasolabial cysts. Methods The clinical and imaging data of 20 patients with 21 nasolabial cysts confirmed surgically and histopathologically were retrospectively analyzed. Results The largest cyst was 3.4 × 2.7 × 2.3 cm, and the smallest cyst was 1.1 × 0.7 × 0.5 cm. All cysts were located in the soft tissue between the nasolabial fold and maxillary bone. USG showed sensitivity of 95%, accuracy of 95%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 5%; CT showed sensitivity of 80%, accuracy of 80%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 20%; and MRI showed sensitivity of 85%, accuracy of 85%, and a missed diagnosis rate of 15%. Conclusions USG showed higher sensitivity and accuracy and a lower missed diagnosis rate than CT and MRI. Therefore, USG is worth popularizing on a large scale for the diagnosis of nasolabial cysts.
