Coexistence of a Nasopalatine Duct Cyst and Radicular Cyst : A Unique Clinical Presentation

Copyright © 2023, Alassaf et al..

This study discusses a case of coexistence of two distinct cysts, a nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) and a radicular cyst, within the anterior region of the maxilla. NPDC is a prevalent non-odontogenic developmental cyst, while radicular cysts are commonly found in odontogenic inflammatory cysts. The clinical and radiographic characteristics of these cysts are explored, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. In this case, a 51-year-old male patient presented with swelling and pain in the maxillary anterior region. Radiographic examinations revealed a heart-shaped radiolucent lesion extending from tooth 13 to 23, associated with the NPDC, and a separate radicular cyst. Surgical enucleation and tooth extraction were performed as the treatment of choice. This unique case underscores the significance of meticulous radiographic assessment to detect multiple cystic lesions within the same area.
