Nasopalatine Duct Cyst in a 31 Year-Old Male: Imaging Findings in Computed Tomography

Guillermo Concha; Florencia Novoa & Nelson Lobos

Summary

A 31-year-old man is presented and is evaluated by panoramic radiography. As a finding, an extensive lesion with a cystic appearance was detected in the anterior part of the maxilla. Computed tomography shows a lesion corresponding to the characteristics of a cyst. In the histology the combination of two types of epithelium is observed, pseudostratified columnar and stratified squamous, confirming that this was a nasopalatine duct cyst.

KEY WORDS: nasopalatine duct cyst, incisive canal cyst, maxilary cyst, computed tomography
