Nasolabial Cysts/Nasoalveolar Cyst/Klestadt's Cyst It is a rare non odontogenic cyst which occurs in the region of nasolabial seen fold.

Female >Male Bilateral in approximately 10% of all cases. Usually present in 4th and 5th decades of life. It presents as a smooth and soft bulge in the region of nasolabial fold. Large cyst obliterates the nasolabial sulcus. Treatment is by surgical excision using sublabial approach. Globulomaxillary cyst arise at the junction of the primitive palate and palatine process in the alveolaolar process between lateral incisor and canine teeth.
