The nasolabial cyst is a rare nonodontogenic cyst with its embryological origin little clear. They are extraosseous lesions with growth that appears like a swelling that lifts the nasal wing, painless, sliding and fluctuating. It is located in the alveolar apophysis near the base of the wing of the nose. The treatment consists of surgical enucleating of the lesion. This article presents a case of nasolabial cyst in a female patient of 46 years age, describing clinical, diagnostic, imaging, and histopathological aspects as well as the treatment employed.
