Previous review of literature of nasolabial cyst include it as an asymptomatic swelling located beneath the ala of the nose, along with a distinctive swelling of the lip. The presentation of patient is usually asymptomatic and the patient usually presents when it enlarges in size leading to cosmetic deformities. It is quite often more common in age group 40-50 years, bit in our case it was seen in young female. Usually it might be confused as an odontogenic lesion. If infected it leads to infective cyst and can be mistaken for facial cellulitis. We are describing in our case a surgically managed case report and also discussing the etiopathogenesis and management.
Case report: The article presents a case of nasolabial cyst in a young female who presented with swelling on right side of nasolabial region, resulting in cosmetic deformity, which was excised and follow up of the patient was done.
Conclusion: Nasolabial cyst is a rare cyst of maxillofacial region that result in deranged cosmetic appearance and if infected leads to cellulitis. For evaluation generally radiological investigations as CT scan is done. This helps us easily diagnose and plan surgical management of the case.
