Abstract

As an otorhinolaryngologist it is not an everyday occurrence to find a swelling in the nasolabial fold area. The challenge however lies in the diagnosis, proper and timed treatment of the existing pathology, especially in a non – infective case. There are various pathologies that can lead to a swelling in the nasolabial area. We here report a rare case of a female patient who presented to our outpatient department with a slowly progressive nasolabial swelling which radiologically pointed towards a Nasolabial cyst. However, the final diagnosis was an entity on the other end of spectrum, an Ameloblastoma, an odontogenic tumor.
