Abstract
Klestadt’s cyst is a rare, benign, developmental, non-odontogenic soft-tissue cyst of the nasoalar region of the midface.1 It is also known as ‘‘nasolabial cyst’’ or ‘‘nasoalveolar cyst’’ (NC). Itis uncommon, affecting 1.6 per 100000 persons each year, more frequently in females in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Characteristic clinical manifestations include slowly enlarging asymptomatic swelling in the nasolabial region, mostly without radiographic abnormalities. Medical advice is usually sought on secondary infection of the cyst or due to the disfigurement caused by it.2 This paper documents the clinicoradiological presentation and management of a nasolabial cyst in a 48-year-old woman and discusses the differential diagnosis of this rare entity
