Abstract: The nasolabial cyst is an uncommon non‑odontogenic cyst arising in the maxillofacial tissues.1 Nasolabial cysts are uncommon lesions located close to the alar cartilage of the nose, extending into the lower nasal meatus, the upper gingivolabial sulcus and the floor of the nasal vestibule.3 This lesion grows slowly and me¬asures between 1.5 and 3 cm; it is characterized clinically by a floating tumefaction in the nasolabial sulcus, which elevates the upper lip.4 The aim of this paper was to assess a nasolabial cyst to describe the clinical presentation, the diagnosis and the appropriate surgical techniques used in this disease.
