A nasoalveolar cyst is a rare, non-odontogenic soft tissue cyst encountered in the anterior maxillary labial sulcus as an asymptomatic soft tissue swelling. Often, patients with these cysts report them to the dental clinic where they are mistaken for odontogenic lesions by the dental surgeon, especially if concomitant dental problems are present. They cannot be detected by routine conventional dental radiography as they are peripheral, lying within the mucosa thereby posing a diagnostic challenge. We document a case of a 47-year-old woman with a nasoalveolar cyst.
鼻牙槽囊肿是一种罕见的非牙源性软组织囊肿,表现为上颌前部唇沟处无症状的软组织肿胀。通常,患有这些囊肿的患者会前往牙科诊所就诊,牙科医生常将其误诊为牙源性病变,尤其是在伴有牙齿问题的情况下。由于它们位于黏膜内,属于外周性囊肿,常规牙科X线检查无法检测到,因此诊断具有挑战性。我们记录了一例47岁女性鼻牙槽囊肿的病例。
