Nasolabial cysts are rare, benign, nonodontogenic, extraosseous maxillofacial lesions, with bilateral involvement being uncommon. A 40-year-old woman presented with long-standing bilateral nasal vestibular swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated well-defined bilateral cystic lesions along the nasal floor with characteristic signal intensities and smooth anterior maxillary bone scalloping, consistent...

No actionable change for audiologists — this case report concerns a rare facial cyst with no direct relevance to audiology or hearing care.
While nasolabial cysts can occasionally affect facial structures near the ear canal, this single case report has negligible relevance to audiology practice.
- 01Case report describes bilateral (both-sided) nasolabial cysts in a 40-year-old woman.
- 02MRI was used to characterize the cyst findings.
- 03Bilateral presentation of nasolabial cysts is considered rare in the literature.
- 04Published in Radiology Case Reports — not an audiology-specific journal.
- 05No audiology-relevant outcomes or hearing implications are discussed.
Bilateral nasolabial cysts are a rare clinical presentation.
