Nasopalatine duct cyst occurs in approximately 1% of the population. Presentation may be asymptomatic or include swelling, pain, and drainage from the hard palate. A well-circumscribed, round, ovoid, or heart-shaped radiolucency is seen on computed tomography. Pathological findings reveal squamous or respiratory cell types, or a combination of these, infiltrated by inflammatory cells. Enucleation is the preferred treatment with low recurrence rates.
