title: Nasolabial cyst: a report of eight cases and a review of the literature.
abstract: Nasolabial cyst is a cystic ectodermal developmental swelling which occurs as a cyst on the lateral half of the floor of the nasal vestibule at the base of the alae of the nose. Although, it is a rare disease, this is a report of eight cases in a population of 500,000 in one year. Seven of the patients were female aged between 25-50 years. Seven cysts were left-sided and one was bilateral. The purpose of this paper is to present an additional example of patients with nasolabial cyst. It may be a more common disease than previously thought.
