A Case of Nasolabial Cyst in an Elderly Female
A nasolabial cyst is a developmental nonodontogenic type of soft tissue cyst occurring in the nasal alar region of the midface. It accounts for <1% of all maxillofacial cysts. It is often ignored because of the absence of bothersome symptoms. Even though the cyst is of embryologic origin, the presentation is usually in late adulthood. We present a case of a nasolabial cyst in a 61-year-old female, which was managed surgically.
