Abstract

We report a case of a huge nasopalatine duct cyst that was the biggest one we have ever investigated. The patient was a 66-year-old male. He was referred to our hospital complaining of swelling of the maxillary mucosa. X-ray CT examination revealed extensive radiolucency reaching the maxillary sinus. Under a diagnosis of maxillary cyst by biopsy, we performed cyst resection with root end resection under general anesthesia. All teeth that were in close proximity to the cyst were treated conservatively. Since the operation, no infection has been found and the course has been uneventful.
