Nasopalatal cyst is rare but most common among the developmental, non- odontogenic cysts of the jaws. It is located in the incisive canal or in the anterior palate. It arises from the embryonic ducts of scrapa and stenson. It accounts for about 5–10% of the jaw cysts and 1% of the population. Majority of the cases occur between fourth to sixth decades of life. Males are more commonly affected than the females. We report case of Nasopalatal cyst in 50year old female.
