Abstract

The main goal of this work is to report the aggressive potential of the nasopalatine cyst (NPC) in the pre-maxilla, when there's invasion of the medullar spaces.

Bone resorption, soft tissue swelling, and displaced root remnants were clinical and radiological signs of this long-term asymptomatic and slow progression lesion.

Histopathology showed a mixture of stratified non-queratinized with pseudostratified epithelium compatible with NPC.

Careful should be made when screening patients since this entity can easily go unnoticed and the slow painless progression can lead to severe hard tissue defects.

Keywords:
Nasopalatine Cyst
Enucleation
Maxillary resorption
Resumo

É objectivo deste trabalho reportar o potencial agressivo do quisto nasopalatino (NPC) quando existe invasão dos espaços medulares.

Como sinais clínicos e radiográficos desta lesão assintomática, e de progressão lenta, observamos reabsorção óssea, tumefacção dos tecidos moles e afastamento de restos radiculares.

Ao exame anatomopatológico verificamos uma mistura de epitélio pavimentoso estratificado com epitélio pseudoestratificado compatível com NPC.

Devemos ser cuidadosos nas consultas de rotina uma vez que esta lesão pode facilmente passar despercebida e a sua lenta e indolor progressão pode levar a defeitos ósseos severos.
