A LARGE NASOPALATİNE DUCT CYST: CASE REPORT

Nasopalatine duct cysts (npdc), also known as incisive canal cysts, is the most common developmental, epithelial, non-odontogeniccyst of the maxilla. npdcs are located in the anterior maxillary midline region. the cyst arises from embryonic epithelial remnants of the nasopalatine duct within incisive canals. lesions are normally asymptomatic and are usually detected during the routine radiological examination. diagnosis is most frequently performed in the fourth and sixth decades. npdcs must be especially distinguished from large incisive foramen and radicular cyst of central incisors. recurrence is rare following surgical removal. in this case report, a 57 years old male patient’s npdc is evaluated by panoramic radiography and cone beam volumetric tomography images which is existing in the maxillary midline; between right and left canine’s roots and its treatment presented.
