NASOPALATINE DUCT CYST
PRESENTED BY
Dr.AJINS CB
INTRODUCTION
• The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) was first ever described by Meyer in 1914.
• Nasopalatine duct cyst is also termed as incisive canal cyst, arises from
embryogenic remnants of nasopalatine duct
• Most of these cysts develop in the midline of anterior maxilla near the
incisive foramen.
• It is one of the most common nonodontogenic cysts of the oral cavity
occurring in about 1% of the population
ETIOLOGY
• The cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct.
• The cells may be activated spontaneously during life or are eventually
stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.).
CLINICAL FEATURES
• Age predilection : fourth to sixth decades of life.
• Gender predilection : common in men.
• Patients may be asymptomatic, with the lesion being detected on routine
radiographs; however, many will present with one or more symptoms.
• Complaints are often found to be associated with an infection of a previously
asymptomatic nasopalatine duct cysts and consist primarily of swelling,
drainage, and pain.
RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES
• Almost all nasopalatine cyst occurs within the
incisive canal at any level between nasal and
oral cavity
• Teardrop shaped and show a well
demarcated slightly sclerotic border
• Some cyst have an inverted pear shaped
• Superimposition of the nasal spine classic
heart shape
HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES
• The cyst is lined by respiratory type of
epithelium
• The cyst is surrounded by fibrous
capsule exhibiting a mild degree of
chronic inflammation
TREATMENT
• Nasopalatine duct cysts are treated by enucleation via a palatine or buccal
approach.
• Transnasal endoscopic marsupialization can also be applied.
• Recurrence is uncommon, having been reported in 0-11% of patients
CASE REPORT
• A 35-year-old male reported to the dental clinic
with the chief complaint of painless swelling over
the palate and anterior maxilla.
• The swelling was gradually increasing in size for
the past 3 months with associated displacement
of maxillary central incisors.
• There was no associated history of trauma.
CLINICAL FEATURES
• On examination, a well defined firm
nontender swelling was seen on the left
side of anterior hard palate and
crossing over the midline to the right
side.
• The crown of left central incisor was
displaced labially and mesially,
overlapping the crown of right central
incisor.
PROVISIONAL DIAGNOSIS
• Periapical cyst
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
• Nasopalatine duct cyst
• Enlarged nasopalatine duct
• Central giant cell granuloma
• A root cyst associated to the upper central incisors
• A supernumerary tooth follicular cyst
• Primordial cyst
• Nasoalveolar cyst
RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES
• Maxillary occlusal radiograph showed a well-
defined round radiolucency approximately 2.5 cm
in size with corticated margins in the midline and
between the central incisors which was the typical
radiographic feature of NPDC
• The lesion was causing displacement of the roots
of the incisors.
• Superiorly it was extending till the floor of nasal
fossa.
• Also there was deviation of the nasal septum to
the right side.
CT FEATURES
A well-defined radiolucency in anterior maxilla in the region of incisive
canal, 2.6 cm × 2.8 cm in size
• Mesiodistally the radiolucency was causing displacement of the roots of both
maxillary central incisors and it was not extending laterally beyond the roots
of incisors.
• Inferiorly it was extending till the crest of interdental bone. Loss of cortication
was seen along the buccal and palatal aspects of the lesion in the sagittal
sections.
TREATMENT
• A surgical enucleation was done with intact removal of the cyst.
• The specimen was sent for histopathological examination
HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES
• which showed cystic lining composed of stratified squamous
epithelium about 2-3 cell layer thick. Lining was flattened and
showed pseudostratification at places
• This was conclusive for NPDC.
CONCLUSION
• Nasopalatine duct cysts are the most common nonodontogenic cyst of the
oral cavity seen in the general population.
• NPDCs must be distinguished from other maxillary anterior radiolucencies.
• Vitality testing of teeth adjacent to or involved with a cyst-like lesion is
mandatory and the final diagnosis could only be performed after histological
analysis.
• It is important that practitioners are aware of the features of the NPDC.

CLINICAL FEATURES • Age predilection : fourth to sixth decades of life. • Gender predilection : common in men. • Patients may be asymptomatic, with the lesion being detected on routine radiographs; however, many will present with one or more symptoms. • Complaints are often found to be associated with an infection of a previously asymptomatic nasopalatine duct cysts and consist primarily of swelling, drainage, and pain.
  • 5. RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES • Almost all nasopalatine cyst occurs within the incisive canal at any level between nasal and oral cavity • Teardrop shaped and show a well demarcated slightly sclerotic border • Some cyst have an inverted pear shaped • Superimposition of the nasal spine classic heart shape
  • 6. HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES • The cyst is lined by respiratory type of epithelium • The cyst is surrounded by fibrous capsule exhibiting a mild degree of chronic inflammation
  • 7. TREATMENT • Nasopalatine duct cysts are treated by enucleation via a palatine or buccal approach. • Transnasal endoscopic marsupialization can also be applied. • Recurrence is uncommon, having been reported in 0-11% of patients
  • 8. CASE REPORT • A 35-year-old male reported to the dental clinic with the chief complaint of painless swelling over the palate and anterior maxilla. • The swelling was gradually increasing in size for the past 3 months with associated displacement of maxillary central incisors. • There was no associated history of trauma.
  • 9. CLINICAL FEATURES • On examination, a well defined firm nontender swelling was seen on the left side of anterior hard palate and crossing over the midline to the right side. • The crown of left central incisor was displaced labially and mesially, overlapping the crown of right central incisor.
  • 11. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS • Nasopalatine duct cyst • Enlarged nasopalatine duct • Central giant cell granuloma • A root cyst associated to the upper central incisors • A supernumerary tooth follicular cyst • Primordial cyst • Nasoalveolar cyst
  • 12. RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES • Maxillary occlusal radiograph showed a well- defined round radiolucency approximately 2.5 cm in size with corticated margins in the midline and between the central incisors which was the typical radiographic feature of NPDC • The lesion was causing displacement of the roots of the incisors. • Superiorly it was extending till the floor of nasal fossa. • Also there was deviation of the nasal septum to the right side.
  • 13. CT FEATURES A well-defined radiolucency in anterior maxilla in the region of incisive canal, 2.6 cm × 2.8 cm in size
  • 14. • Mesiodistally the radiolucency was causing displacement of the roots of both maxillary central incisors and it was not extending laterally beyond the roots of incisors. • Inferiorly it was extending till the crest of interdental bone. Loss of cortication was seen along the buccal and palatal aspects of the lesion in the sagittal sections.
  • 15. TREATMENT • A surgical enucleation was done with intact removal of the cyst. • The specimen was sent for histopathological examination
  • 16. HISTOLOGICAL FEATURES • which showed cystic lining composed of stratified squamous epithelium about 2-3 cell layer thick. Lining was flattened and showed pseudostratification at places • This was conclusive for NPDC.
  • 17. CONCLUSION • Nasopalatine duct cysts are the most common nonodontogenic cyst of the oral cavity seen in the general population. • NPDCs must be distinguished from other maxillary anterior radiolucencies. • Vitality testing of teeth adjacent to or involved with a cyst-like lesion is mandatory and the final diagnosis could only be performed after histological analysis. • It is important that practitioners are aware of the features of the NPDC.
