ABSTRACT
The nasopalatine duct cyst (NPDC) is the most common non-odontogenic cyst typically found in middle-aged Caucasian female in Brazil, however the present report describes a case in a 35 year-old black male. NPDC are usually asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally during routine radiological examination. A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable tool to localize a cyst within the nasopalatine canal. CBCT enables analysis of the dimension of the NPDC, analysis of the involvement of neighboring anatomical structures and assists in treatment planning. The authors at this case highlight the importance of clinical examination with an unbiased view of age, gender and ethnicity.
RESUMO
O cisto do ducto nasopalatino (CDNP) é o mais comum dos cistos não-odontogênicos geralmente encontrado em mulheres brancas de meia idade no Brasil, embora o presente relato descreva um caso em um homem negro de 35 anos de idade. Os CDNP são usualmente assintomáticos e são descobertos acidentalmente durante o exame radiográfico de rotina. A tomografia computadorizada por feixe cônico(TCFC) é uma ferramenta válida para localizar o cisto dentro do canal nasopalatino. A TCFC permite análise da dimensão do CDNP, análise do envolvimento das estruturas anatômicas vizinhas e auxilia no planejamento do tratamento. Os autores neste caso alertam para a importância do exame clinico, com uma visão embasada na idade, gênero e grupo étnico.
