Abstract:
Nasopalatine duct cyst is a common cystic lesion of nonodontogenic origin of the maxilla. Diagnosis was made on the basis of physical examination and radiological findings. Generally, the treatment of choice for nasopalatine duct cyst is the enucleation of the cystic tissue. Recently, we performed marsupialization via trans-nasal approach in two cases. Both patients exhibited no evidence of recurrence and showed good results. Thus, we report two cases of nasopalatine duct cysts with a literature review.
