Abstract:
Introduction: A nasolabial cyst is an ectodermal development cyst. It presents as a fullness of canine fossa, nasal ala, or vestibule of the nose. It is rare and usually small. Treatment consists of complete surgical excision or transnasal endoscopic marsupialization.
Objective: To describe a giant nasolabial cyst case treated using Neumann incision.
Case Report: A 37-year-old man was referred to the otolaryngology department with nasal obstruction and nasal deformity. Computed tomography showed a nasal cystic lesion 4 × 4.5 × 5 cm wide. Surgical excision using Neumann incision was performed.
Discussion: Neumann incision provides wide access to the nasal cavity and may be useful in nasolabial cyst treatment.
