Abstract
A case of median palatine cyst arising in a 28-year-old man with complaining of a midpalatal swelling was reported. Radiographic examination showed a small and round cystic radiolucent area in the middle palate. At the surgical operation, confirmatory evidence, both tooth-root and incisive canal were not involved in the lesion, was noted.
In addition to the present case, clinico-pathological and embryological literatures of median palatine cyst were reviewed, though median palatine cyst has been neglected in the WHO classification of non-odontogenic cysts.
