NASOALVEOLAR CYST CAUSING EXPANSION IN THE NASAL BONE

Abstract

Nasoalveolar cysts are extremely rare, nonodontogenic soft tissue lesions. It is often diagnosed at an early stage because it often causes cosmetic problems. In this study, a case who was operated for septorhinoplasty and whose nasoalveolar cyst causing nasal deformity was detected incidentally peroperatively was presented in the light of current literature.

Nazoalveoler kistler oldukça nadir, nonodontojenik yumuşak doku lezyonlarıdır. Genellikle erken aşamada teşhis edilir, çünkü sıklıkla kozmetik sorunlara neden olur. Bu çalışmada septorinoplasti nedeniyle opere edilen ve nazal deformiteye neden olan, isidental olarak peroperatif saptanan bir nazoalveoler kist olgusu mevcut literatür ışığında sunuldu.
