“…NPDCs affect a wide age range; however, most present in the fourth through sixth decades of life, and most studies show a significantly higher frequency in men than woman, with the ratio being 2.5 : 1 [ 5 – 11 ]. Patients may be asymptomatic, with the lesion being detected on routine radiographs; however, many will present with one or more symptoms.…”

The nasopalatine cyst is the most common epithelial and nonodontogenic cyst of the maxilla. The cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. The cells may be activated spontaneously during life or are eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.). It is different from a radicular cyst. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings. The treatment is enucleation of the cystic tissue, and only in rare cases a marsupialisation needs to be performed. A case of a nasopalatine duct cyst in a 35-year-old male is reviewed. The typical radiologic and histological findings are presented.

“…As far as pathogenesis is concerned, it was previously thought that the NPDCs originated from the trapping of epithelium during fusion of the embryological processes [9]. This concept has been discarded, and currently NPDC is thought to develop from the epithelial remnants of the nasopalatine ducts present within the incisive canals (canals of Stenson) [3, 6, 7]. The NPDC is unique in that it develops in only one location, which is the midline of the anterior maxilla, in close relationship to the nasopalatine canal.…”

“…Swelling also occurs in the midline on the labial aspect of the alveolar ridge. In a number of cases, the swelling is associated with pain or drainage [6, 7, 10]. Some cysts may also be completely symptomless and be discovered by the dentist during routine radiological examination [10].…”

The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is the most common of the non-odontogenic cyst of the jaws. This cysts are usually central or unilateral with no prevalence of side occurrence. The NPDC is the most frequent developmental, nonodontogenic cyst of the jaws. This cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. The cells could be activated spontaneously during life, or are eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.). Generally, patients present without clinical signs and symptoms. Therefore, the tentative diagnosis "nasopalatine duct cyst" is often based on a coincidental radiological finding on a routine panoramic view or occlusal radiograph. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological and above all histopathologic findings. The therapy of nasopalatine duct cysts consists of an enucleation of the cystic tissue, only in rare cases a marsupialization needs to be performed. This report describes the appearance and treatment of a rare case of bilateral nasopalatine duct cyst.

“…However, three anatomical variations have been reported; wherein, it sometimes appears as two parallel canals or single canal or a Y-shaped canal. [ 8 9 ] Depending on the anatomical structure, the nasopalatine cyst appears as a midline cyst or paramedian cyst when it involves one side of the canal only. However, midline nasopalatine duct cyst is more common than the other types (Stafne 1969).…”

Aggressive nasopalatine duct cyst with complete destruction of palatine bone

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nasopalatine duct cyst is the nonodontogenic developmental cyst, frequently occurring in the midline of the anterior maxillary region. The clinical presentation of the cyst is often varied and presents a diagnostic difficulty and frequently misdiagnosed as developmental or inflammatory odontogenic cystic lesion. This paper represents a large infected nasopalatine duct cyst presenting with complete destruction of anterior palate and pyriform rim.
