A case of bilateral globulomaxillary cysts

Abstract

Bilateral globulomaxillary cysts arc a rare condition. Generally speaking, this lesion arises from epithelial elements remaining in the line of fusion of the globular and maxillary processes of the embryonic face. This lesion characteristically appears as a pearshaped radiolucency between the canine and lateral incisor of the upper jaw.
A case is reported of a 19-year-old female patient who presented with pus discharge in the area of the right lateral incisor. This case was treated by enucleation.
