ABSTRACT: Nasolabial cysts are rare non-odontogenic, soft-tissue, developmental cysts typically found in the sublabial area and anterior maxillary region. These cysts present as slowly enlarging, asymptomatic, and non-painful swellings, often causing effacement of the nasolabial fold and occasionally nasal obstruction. The diagnosis is primarily clinical, with radiological findings being non-specific. However, computed tomography may provide further details. Surgical removal through a sublabial approach is the treatment of choice, confirming the diagnosis and preventing recurrence. This article reports a case of a nasolabial cyst with nasal obstruction, successfully treated by enucleation via the vestibular approach.
