The most common nonodontogenic cyst of the oral cavity which is developmental in, origin, intraosseous and non-neoplastic in nature is nasopalatine cyst also called incisive canal cyst. The present case is about a 28-year-old male patient. Incisive canal cysts are normally diagnosed on routine radiological examination. They normally develop in the midline of the anterior maxilla. Usually, these cysts are asymptomatic. This article reports with the review of literature with respect to epidemiology, clinical features, radiographic features, histopathology, treatment, and recurrence rates.

“…It is three times more common among men than women [3][4][5]7 . It occurs in both human races: white and black 8,9 . The etiology of the cyst is unknown, although it is suspected that its development may contribute to nasopalatine duct infections, or retention of mucus [3][4][5]10 .…”

“…Among some peo-ple, however, it does not disappear completely and its remnants, in the form of epithelial cord, could lead to the development of cysts in the incisive canal. However, the cause of this abnormal development is still unknown 8 . Some authors suggest here the similarity to the lower mammals, in which inside the nasopalatine canal is penetrable by air "nasopalatine duct", which is an auxiliary olfactory organ, called Jacobson's organ 8 .…”

“…Among all types of cysts diagnosed in dental surgery, a nasopalatine duct cyst is rare. Since 1960, the English-language literature has published only 468 case reports 8 . The aim of our study is to present one case documented by the University Dental Clinic ,,St. Pantheleimon" -Skopje, in 2019.…”

Nasopalatine duct cyst, called the incisive canal cyst, described in literature as a cystis canalis nasopalatine or cystis canalis incisive, is the most common non-odontogenic cyst occurring in the oral cavity. It develops in the midline palate around the incisive foramen from debris of nasopalatine duct's epithelium. The etiology is unknown, although it is believed that some of the irritants may have an impact on its development. Cyst develops slowly destroying the alveolar bone of the maxilla. Typically, the process is asymptomatic and is detected accidentally on radiograph. Clinical diagnosis is made due to X-rays, but only histopathology can confirm the results. The treatment of choice is total enucleation of pathological changes. The following article presents a case of nasopalatine duct cysts, which is diagnosed and treated at the Faculty of Dentistry in Skopje. The case is characteristic regarding the symptomatology, as well as the need of differentiation from other pathological changes within the region, as well as the need for proper treatment.
