MONTEIRO, Flavia Heloisa et al. Diagnosis and treatment of nasolabial cyst: case report. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2013, vol.67, n.1, pp. 45-49. ISSN 0004-5276.

Nasolabial cyst is a rare non-odontogenic development cyst, which affects soft-tissues between the ala and the base of the nose and the upper lip and may lead to facial asymmetry. Its pathogenesis is still controverse, although clinical diagnosis is confirmed by the anatomo-pathological examination. The treatment is enucleation of the lesion. The aim of this article is to describe the characteristics, diagnosis and the treatment of nasolabial cysts and report a clinical case.

Keywords : cysts; lip; nose; nonodontogenic cysts.
