Abstract

The nasolabial cyst also known as Klestadt’s cyst is a rare non-odontogenic soft tissue lesion of the nasal alar region. Aetiopathogenesis of the nasolabial cysts is controversial. Embryonic and developmental theories were considered at pathogenesis of the nasolabial cyst. In addition, surgical or non-surgical trauma is one of the possible theories. This paper reports a case of a 33-year-old male patient that presented with bilateral nasolabial cysts after rhinoplasty and alar base reduction.
