They usually arise from the embryonic epithelial vestiges of the nasopalatine duct. NPDCs predominantly affect adult males, generally during their fourth decade of life. Clinically, they present as asymptomatic or occasionally painful, fluctuant or discharging swellings involving the hard palate. Radiographically, NPDCs are characterized by a well-defined, fairly corticated, inverted pear-shaped or heart-shaped radiolucency situated between the roots of the maxillary incisors. Histopathologically, NPDCs exhibit a wide spectrum of findings. The lining may be comprised of stratified squamous, pseudostratified ciliated columnar, columnar, or cuboidal epithelium, or a combination and transition of these types. The cystic capsule is fibrocollagenous and can exhibit certain unique features, such as neurovascular bundles, mucous glands, and cartilaginous rests. NPDCs are typically managed through surgical enucleation, and recurrences are rare. Herein, we present two cases of NPDCs, along with a brief overview of their origin, relevant diagnostic features, and management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_3_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]],"date-time":"2024-10-15T02:01:03Z","timestamp":1728957663000},"page":"483-487","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A brief insight regarding Nasopalatine duct cyst- Report of two cases with a review of literature"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Snehanjan","family":"Sarangi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Dr. R Ahmed Dental College, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debarati","family":"Ray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Dr. R Ahmed Dental College, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tathagata","family":"Bhattacharjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Dr. R Ahmed Dental College, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay Gopal","family":"Ray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology, Dr. R Ahmed Dental College, West Bengal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20241016","first-page":"118","article-title":"A unique supernumerary paranasal sinus directly above the superior incisors","volume":"48","author":"Meyer","year":"1914","journal-title":"J Anat"},{"key":"R3-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"311","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-018-2320-6","article-title":"World Health Organization 4th edition of head and neck tumor classification: Insight into the consequential modifications","volume":"472","author":"Slootweg","year":"2018","journal-title":"Virchows Arch"},{"key":"R5-20241016","first-page":"28","article-title":"Diagnosis and management of nasopalatine Duct Cyst: A report of two cases and literature review","volume":"89","author":"Sun","year":"2023","journal-title":"N Y State J"},{"key":"R6-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1449","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jds.2023.05.012","article-title":"Nasopalatine duct cyst \u2013 Diagnosis from the content in the cystic wall","volume":"18","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Dent Sci"},{"key":"R7-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1047","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jds.2021.03.004","article-title":"Nasopalatine duct cyst \u2013 Case report","volume":"16","author":"Lang","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Dent Sci"},{"key":"R8-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"696","DOI":"10.1016\/S0300-9785(86)80110-7","article-title":"Cysts of the nasopalatine duct","volume":"15","author":"Bodin","year":"1986","journal-title":"Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R10-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"268","DOI":"10.1016\/0278-2391(91)90217-A","article-title":"Nasopalatine duct cyst: An analysis of 334 cases","volume":"49","author":"Swanson","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Oral Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"R11-20241016","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"264","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcms.2017.11.014","article-title":"Clinical and histopathological features of nasopalatine duct cyst: A 47-year retrospective study and review of current concepts","volume":"46","author":"Barros","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Craniomaxillofac Surg"}],"container-title":["Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_3_24","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T13:20:06Z","timestamp":1787836806000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_3_24"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jomfp.jomfp_3_24","relation":{},"ISSN":["0973-029X","1998-393X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0973-029X","type":"print"},{"value":"1998-393X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-01-03","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-08-13","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
