Abstract:

Introduction: Bilateral Nasolabial Cyst (NLC) is a very rare occurrence and only 38 cases are
described in the Literature.
Case Report: A 26 years old woman presented with swelling on the left nasolabial fold.
Orthopantomography (OPG) did not detect bone lesions while CT scan revealed the presence of an
extra-bone growth cyst compatible with an NLC. This examination also revealed the simultaneous
presence of a right NLC that had not yet manifested clinically. The patient underwent surgical
enucleation of the two cysts. The histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LNC.
Conclusion: In the diagnostic suspicion of NLC it is always essential to go beyond the usual clinical
examination and OPG, and always rely on a second level exam like CT scan. This more specific exam
allows the physicians to understand the anatomy of the lesion excluding the simultaneous presence
of still asymptomatic contralateral lesions.
