    Abstract:
    Nasolabial cysts are rare nonodontogenic cystic lesions in the soft tissue of the midface and usually present with painless asymptomatic swelling in the nasolabial region. Surgical excision via sublabial approach is considered as the standard treatment. However, endonasal endoscopic marsupialization of the cyst is reported as an effective alternative method for nasolabial cysts. Marsupialization of the cyst is believed to integrate the nasolabial cyst into a part of the nasal cavity as an air-containing sinus. In this article, we present an endonasal endoscopic marsupialization technique in case of recurrent nasolabial cyst. To draw attention to this approach, we present our case with current literature.
