ÖZETİnsiziv kanal kisti olarak da bilinen Nazopalatin kanal kisti (NPKK), maksillanın en sık görülen gelişimsel, epitelyal, nonodontojenik kistidir. Anterior palatinal bölge orta hattında lokalize olan NPKK’ler, genellikle asemptomatiktirler ve rutin radyografik muayene esnasında rastlanılırlar. İnsiziv kanal içerisindeki, nazopalatin kanalın embriyolojik epitelyal artıklarından gelişirler. Bu kistler yaşamın 4. ve 6. dekatları arasında daha sık görülürler. Ayırıcı tanısında en sık geniş insiziv foramen ve radiküler kistler göz önünde bulundurulur. Cerrahi olarak çıkarıldıktan sonra rekürrensleri nadirdir. Olgu raporumuzda 57 yaşında erkek hastanın, panoramik radyografi ve konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntüleri ile maksilla orta hatta, sağ kanin-sol kanin dişlerin kökleri arasında izlenen NPKK değerlendirilmiş ve tedavisi sunulmuştur.Anahtar Kelime: Nazopalatin kanal kisti,  maksilla, konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografiA LARGE NASOPALATİNE DUCT CYST: CASE REPORTABSTRACTNasopalatine duct cysts (NPDC), also known as incisive canal cysts, is the most common develop- mental, epithelial, non-odontogeniccyst of the maxilla. NPDCs are located in the anterior maxillary midline region. The cyst arises from embryonic epithelial remnants of the nasopalatine duct within incisive canals. Lesions are normally asymptomatic and are usually detected during the routine radiological examination. Diagnosis is most frequently performed in the fourth and sixth decades. NPDCs must be especially distinguished from large incisive foramen and radicular cyst of central incisors. Recurrence is rare following surgical removal. In this case report, a 57 years old male patient’s NPDC is evaluated by panoramic radiography and cone beam volumetric tomography images which is existing in the maxillary midline;  between right and left canine’s roots and its treatment presented.Key Words: The nasopalatine duct cyst, maxilla, cone beam volumetric tomography
