The nasopalatine cyst (NPC) was first described in 1914 and it is considered the most common non-odontogenic cyst. Most studies show a higher incidence of NPC among males than females, with a male/female ratio of 1.7:1. The majority of the cases described in people in their fifth decade involve Afro-Caribbeans, while those in their sixth decade are mainly caucasians. These cysts are normally asymptomatic, unless they are infected. The most commonly reported clinical symptom is swelling in the anterior part of the palate. The treatment of choice is enucleation. Even though it has been stated that NPCs may occur at any age no reports have been made on children less than 9 years old. Some reports support a predisposition in young Afro-Caribbeans, where NPCs appear to be more aggressive, larger and symptomatic. We present a case of a NPC in an 8-year-old caucasian female.
