Nasopalatine canal cyst may occur within the nasopalatine canal or in the soft tissues of the palate, at the opening of the canal, where it is called the 'cyst of the palatine papilla'. These are normally asymptomatic, constituting casual radiological findings. We present a case report of a male patient with infected nasopalatine canal cyst seen clinically as swelling over palate. Radiographic interpretation should be thoroughly performed for maxillary anterior region and any occlusal radiograph in routine radiography to screen this entity and must be distinguished from other maxillary anterior radiolucencies by the clinician.
鼻腭管囊肿可发生于鼻腭管内或腭部软组织内，在鼻腭管开口处，此处称为“腭乳头囊肿”。这些囊肿通常无症状，多为偶然的影像学检查发现。我们报告一例男性患者，其鼻腭管囊肿发生感染，临床上表现为腭部肿胀。在常规影像学检查中，对上颌前部区域及任何咬合片都应进行全面的影像学解读，以筛查该病变，临床医生必须将其与其他上颌前部的透射影相鉴别。
