This cysts are usually central or unilateral with no prevalence of side occurrence. The NPDC is the most frequent developmental, nonodontogenic cyst of the jaws. This cyst originates from epithelial remnants from the nasopalatine duct. The cells could be activated spontaneously during life, or are eventually stimulated by the irritating action of various agents (infection, etc.). Generally, patients present without clinical signs and symptoms. Therefore, the tentative diagnosis \"nasopalatine duct cyst\" is often based on a coincidental radiological finding on a routine panoramic view or occlusal radiograph. The definite diagnosis should be based on clinical, radiological and above all histopathologic findings. The therapy of nasopalatine duct cysts consists of an enucleation of the cystic tissue, only in rare cases a marsupialization needs to be performed. This report describes the appearance and treatment of a rare case of bilateral nasopalatine duct cyst.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2174\/1874210601004010008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,5]],"date-time":"2010-03-05T17:34:17Z","timestamp":1267810457000},"page":"8-12","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2174\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Rare Bilateral Nasopalatine Duct Cysts: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.2174","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Marco","family":"Cicci\u00f9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Battista Grossi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Borgonovo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giacomo","family":"Santoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Pallotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlo","family":"Maiorana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"965","reference":[{"key":"refR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(94)90299-2","volume":"77","author":"Daley TD","year":"1994","unstructured":"Daley TD, Wysocki GP, Pringle GA. \n                Relative incidence of odontogenic tumors and oral and jaw cysts in a Canadian population \n                Oral Surg Oral Med  Oral Pathol  \n                1994;
