Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Background:

Nasolabial cysts are rare, non-odontogenic, extraosseous cysts typically presenting in the nasolabial fold.
Bilateral presentations of nasolabial cysts are exceptionally uncommon, with limited documented cases.

Observation:

A 30-year-old Moroccan woman presented with two asymptomatic masses located in the bilateral nasal ala regions.
Clinical examination revealed distinct swellings without associated symptoms.

Findings:

Imaging and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the masses to be nasolabial cysts.
The diagnosis of bilateral nasolabial cysts was established.

Implications:

This case expands the understanding of the rare occurrence of bilateral nasolabial cysts.
Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in the differential for nasal ala masses.
Contributes to the literature on the clinical presentation and diagnosis of nasolabial cysts.
