SEGUNDO, Airton Vieira Leite; SOARES, Maria Sueli Marques; NOGUEIRA, Emerson Filipe de Carvalho  and  LOPES, Pedro Henrique de Souza. Nasolabial cyst: report of 2 cases. Rev. cir. traumatol. buco-maxilo-fac. [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.4, pp. 57-62. ISSN 1808-5210.

The nasolabial cyst is classified as a non-odontogenic and development cyst of the oral and maxillofacial region. It represents a rare extra-osseous lesion, corresponding to only 0.7% of all cysts that occur on the maxillofacial region. Clinically, it occurs as a tumefaction in the upper lip, at the nasolabial furrow region, causing a swelling on the nasal alar region. The authors report two cases of nasolabial cyst, emphasizing their clinical, tomographic and histological aspects and techniques of surgical excision.

Keywords : Nasolabial cyst; non-odontogenic cysts; oral surgery.
