Nasolabial Cyst - Frequently Asked Questions

Medically Reviewed by The Medindia Medical Review Team on Aug 31, 2015


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which doctor should I consult for nasolabial cyst?

You should consult an ENT specialist for nasolabial cyst. An Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon may also treat the cyst.


2. What are the complications associated with nasolabial cyst?

A large nasolabial cyst causes cosmetic problems since it tends to distort the face. It can cause breathing obstruction or obstruct drainage of tears into the nose, resulting in excessive tearing. If left untreated, the nasolabial cyst can get infected and become painful, and can rupture. However, it is unlikely to develop into cancer. Once the cyst is surgically treated, its chances of recurrence are very low unless it has not been removed properly.
