Management of Infected Klestadt's Cyst in the Left Maxillary Region - A Case Report
Abstract: Nasolabial cysts are rare, non-odontogenic soft tissue lesions occurring beneath the nasal alar region. They account for approximately 0.7% of all maxillofacial cysts and 2.5% of non-odontogenic cysts [3,6]. Infection is an uncommon complication but can alter the clinical presentation by introducing pain, tenderness, and discharge. This report presents a case of a 38-year-old female with an infected nasolabial cyst in the left maxilla, highlighting clinical presentation, imaging findings, surgical management, and histopathological correlation. Complete excision was performed via a sublabial approach, and the patient remained recurrence-free after one year of follow-up.
