Abstract

Incisive canal cyst or nasopalatine duct cyst are the most common non odontogenic cysts of the maxilla. These are developmental cysts and are usually asymptomatic, occasionally produces a swelling in the anterior region of the palate and associated pain if secondarily infected. Histopathology shows non-keratinized epithelium with pseudo stratification, ciliation, with neurovascular bundles in the capsular wall. Surgical enucleation of the cyst is the main stay of treatment. Here we report the case of a 16 year old female patient with NPDC.
