The nasolabial cyst is a rare non-odontogenic cyst that develops within the skin adjacent to the ala of nose around the uppermost portion of the nasolabial crease; its pathogenesis is uncertain. This lesion grows slowly and measures between 1.5 to 3.0 cm; it is characterized clinically by a floating tumefaction in the nasolabial sulcus, which elevates the upper lip. The diagnosis is essentially based on the clinical findings. Bi-digital palpation revealed fluctulance between the floor of nasal vestibule and the gingivobuccal sulcus, which helps to confirm the diagnosis. This paper reports a case of a 35-year-old female patient that presented a soft swelling in the right ala of the nose; the clinical features suggested a nasolabial cyst. Complete surgical excision of the cyst was done under local anesthesia and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. In spite of the low occurrence of nasolabial cysts, it is important to recognize the clinical characteristics of this lesion. The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and discuss the histopathology, etiology and different treatment options of this condition.

“…However, few cases have been reported. 15,17 In 50% cases, cyst may get infected. 2 Due to cyst infection, the cyst can burst open into the oral cavity and /or to the nasal vestibule.…”

“…Epithelial cells is associated with numerous goblet cells with mucus filled cytoplasm. 17 The cyst wall is undistinguishable layer of connective tissue and the supporting connective tissue may include adjacent skeletal muscles, nerve bundles, vascular tissue, cartilage or minor mucous glands. 3 Most often, the contents of the cyst consist of thin mucoid or straw-colored serous fluid, but when secondarily infected, purulent material can dominate.…”

The nasolabial cyst (NC) is an uncommon clinical entity and is generally unilateral. It is benign in nature and is embryonic in origin and only one case with malignancy has been reported. It is located in the nasolabial folds. Most of time it is an asymptomatic deformity of face and rarely can result in nasal obstruction if it is bilateral. Its diagnosis is clinical and treatment is surgical excision. A 16 years brown female patient presented with bulging in left nasolabial region. She was treated with transnasal endoscopic marsupialization (TEM) surgery.

“…1,6 The localization and structure of the cyst can be demonstrated with CT scans, 12 especially the relation of the cyst to the surrounding tissues and in assessment of bony erosion can be imaged. 13 These types of cystic lesions should be differentiated from infections and odontogenic cystic lesions. Infections, such as large furuncles in the vestibule of the nose, may present with similar findings.…”

Nasoalveolar cyst is a nonodontogenic, soft tissue cyst characterized by its extraosseous location in the nasal alar region. It is synonymous with nasolabial cyst, nasal vestibule cyst, nasal wing cyst and mucoid cyst of the nose. It also called Klestadt's cyst. In this study, we would like to highlight the clinical presentation and the radiological features of nasolabial cyst in order to assist other healthcare providers in the diagnosis and treatment of this uncommon entity.
