title: Calcium oxalate crystals in a nasolabial cyst.
abstract: To our knowledge, this is the first report of calcium oxalate crystals in a cyst of the oral cavity. No underlying systemic disorder could be identified. It is proposed that this represents a dystrophic process, possibly related to inflammation, although the mechanism of the crystal formation is uncertain.
