Incisive canal cyst or nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common nonodontogenic and developmental cysts of the maxilla. These developmental NPDC are usually asymptomatic and are discovered during routine radiological examination done for some other diagnosis. A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool to localize a cyst within the nasopalatine canal. CBCT enables analysis of the dimension of the NPDC, analysis of the involvement of neighboring anatomical structures and assists in treatment planning. Histopathology shows non-keratinized epithelium with pseudo stratification, ciliation with neuro-vascular bundle in the capsular wall. Surgical approach with enucleation of the cyst is the mainstay in the treatment of NPDC. Since these lesions show diagnostic dilemma in clinical and radiological study, a definitive diagnosis is made by histopathology. Here we report a case of 27-year-old male patient with NPDC along with brief literature review.
