Nasopalatine Duct Cyst: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Nasopalatine duct cyst is the most common developmental non-odontogenic cysts seen in the midline region of anterior maxilla. An epithelial remnant of the nasopalatine ducts remain in the incisive canal is the most common etiology. Nasopalatine duct cysts are generally asymptomatic and infrequently produce a swelling and associated pain in the anterior palate if secondarily infected. On radiograph it presents with a welldefined round, oval or heart shaped radiolucency. Histopathologically it shows non-keratinized epithelium typically with neurovascular bundles in the connective tissue capsule. Surgical enucleation is the treatment of choice. In the present case report clinical features, diagnosis and management of nasopalatine duct cyst in a 23-year-old male in the anterior maxillary palatal region is discussed.

Nasopalatine Duct Cyst

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to report a rare case of nasopalatine duct cyst with sebaceous differentiation. Further, a systematic search of the literature was performed to identify studies reporting patients with intraosseous jaw cysts with sebaceous differentiation. Case presentation A 55-year-old Korean man was referred to our hospital because of a cystic lesion of the anterior maxilla. Radiologic examination revealed a well-circumscribed radiolucent lesion in the anterior maxilla. Histology showed a respiratory columnar and cuboidal epithelium-lined cyst. Transition from the ciliated columnar epithelium to stratified squamous epithelium with sebaceous differentiation was observed. Based on these findings, the final diagnosis was nasopalatine duct cyst with sebaceous differentiation. A systematic search of the literature was performed to identify studies reporting patients with intraosseous jaw cysts with sebaceous differentiation. There were 24 cases of sebaceous differentiation in the epithelium of the cysts including 2 odontogenic keratocysts, 8 orthokeratinized odontogenic cysts, 8 dentigerous cysts, 1 radicular cyst, and 2 glandular odontogenic cysts. However, no case reports describing the occurrence of nasopalatine duct cysts with sebaceous differentiation have been reported. Conclusion This first case report of nasopalatine duct cysts with sebaceous differentiation could provide insight into the diagnostic process of cystic lesions with sebaceous differentiation.

Clinical Cases

O cisto do ducto nasopalatino ou também conhecido como cisto do canal incisivo, é um cisto de desenvolvimento não odontogênico que apresenta a maior prevalência descrita na literatura. Sua origem é controversa e geralmente apresenta-se de forma assintomática com aumento de volume na região da linha média anterior do palato. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar dois casos clínicos de pacientes encaminhados a clínica de Estomatologia da Unigranrio /RJ, onde foram realizados o diagnóstico e em seguinda seu tratamento, onde os pacientes evoluíram sem complicações e / ou recidiva da lesão. Além disso, será realizada a descrição de suas características clínicas e por imagem, etiologia, incidência, tratamento, prognóstico e possíveis diagnósticos diferenciais deste tipo de lesão. Palavras-chave: Cisto do ducto nasopalatino; Cisto do canal incisivo; Cisto não odontogênico.ABSTRACT The nasopalatine duct cyst or also known as incisor canal cyst is a non-odontogenic developmental scientist with a higher prevalence described in the literature. Its origin is controversial and presents asymptomatic with an increase in volume in the region of the anterior midline of the palate. The objective of this study is to report two clinical cases of patients referred to the Stomatology Clinic of Unigranrio / RJ, where they were followed up with their treatment, where the patients evolved without complications and / or recurrence of the lesion. In addition, a description of its clinical characteristics and by imaging, etiology, incidence, treatment, prognosis and possible differential diagnoses of the type of lesion is made.Key words: Nasopalatine duct cyst; Incisive canal cyst; Non-odontogenic cyst.
