Abstract
Nasopalatine duct cysts are the most common non-odontogenic developmental cyst originating in the incisive canal of maxilla and occuring in approximately 1% of the population. Clinical presentation is mostly asymptomatic in small cysts, but sometimes shows swelling, pain and drainage when it is infected. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological and histopathologic findings. Marsupialization of the cystic tissue can be performed, however, complete surgical excision is the the choice of treatment of nasopalatine duct cysts. We report a case of nasopalatine duct cyst occurred in the midline of hard palate treated by complete excision via transoral approach.
