Nasolabial cyst: case report with CT and MRI findings

Abstract

Nasolabial cysts are uncommon primarily unilateral soft tissue lesions located adjacent to the alveolar process above the apices of the maxillary incisors. Clinical features of the nasolabial cysts are smooth fluctuant soft tissue swelling between the upper lip and nasal aperture with obliteration of the nasolabial fold and elevation of the nasal ala. A nasolabial cyst is described including its features on CT and MRI exams. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2010; 109: e92-e94)
