The nasopalatine duct cyst is the most frequent nonodontogenic cyst of the jaws. The cyst originates from epithelial remanents from the nasopalatine duct. The cells may be activated spontaneously during life, or are eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.). Generally, patients present without clinical signs and symptoms. Therefore, the tentative diagnosis "nasopalatine duct cyst" is often based on a coincidental radiological finding on a routine panoramic view or occlusal radiograph. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological and histopathologic findings. The therapy of nasopalatine duct cysts consists of an enucleation of the cystic tissue, only in rare cases a marsupialization needs to be performed. The present review of the literature presents and discusses the epidemiology, etiology, diagnostic work-up, differential diagnostic aspects, histopatholgy, and therapeutic strategies for nasopalatine duct cysts.
鼻腭管囊肿是颌骨最常见的非牙源性囊肿。该囊肿起源于鼻腭管的上皮残余。这些细胞在生命过程中可能会自发激活，或者最终受到各种因素（感染等）的刺激作用而被激活。一般来说，患者没有临床体征和症状。因此，“鼻腭管囊肿”的初步诊断通常基于常规全景片或咬合片上偶然的影像学发现。明确诊断应基于临床、影像学和组织病理学检查结果。鼻腭管囊肿的治疗包括囊肿组织摘除术，仅在极少数情况下需要进行袋形缝合术。本文献综述介绍并讨论了鼻腭管囊肿的流行病学、病因学、诊断检查、鉴别诊断、组织病理学及治疗策略。
