Abstract

The Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic cysts of the maxilla. They are generally asymptomatic and are diagnosed on routine clinical or radiographic examination. They should however be distinguished from large incisive fossae. On attaining a large size, they may cause symptoms like pain and itching, and may cause root resorption, teeth displacement or bone perforation. We report a case of a giant Nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) in a 65 year old female patient with surgical management.
