Treatment by enucleation of nasolabial cyst - case report

A 70-year-old black female patient with total edentulism presenting good general health status appeared in the outpatient clinic in 2014, presenting edema in the region of teeth 12 and 13, resulting in elevation of the nose wing and disappearance of the nasal labial sulcus, with evolution of edema for 6 months and transient episodes of symptomatology. Imaging tests did not show intraosseous lesion reinforcing the diagnostic hypothesis of nasolabial cyst. Excisional biopsy of the lesion was then scheduled in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia.
