Abstract
The dorsal nasal cyst formation is a rare and late complication of rhinoplasty. It has been rarely reported in the literature and it is usually mucous cysts. Migration and planting to the subcutaneous space during the surgical procedure has been recognized as the formation mechanism. This case report has presented 42-year-old male patient with a destructing dorsal nasal mucous cyst that developed 10 years after the rhinoplasty operation. There was no complication in the primary rhinoplasty and the patient was satisfied with his appearance. There was a swelling of the nasal dorsum over the past year and surgical excision of the cyst was performed. During the surgery, the defect was reconstructed with conchal cartilage. There was no recurrence during follow-up.

Summary
The dorsal nasal cyst formation is a rare and late complication of rhinoplasty. Current literature contains only a few case reports about this complication and these are mostly mucous cysts [1]. Different tissues such as bone, cartilage, and soft tissue can be affected during surgical procedures. The complications of rhinoplasty can be classified as early and late complications. The assumed mechanism of dorsal nasal cyst formation is thought to be the migration and seeding of surgical debridement to the subcutaneous tissue during surgery [3]. We aimed to discuss a case about development of cystic formation in the nasal dorsum ten years after rhinoplasty
