Palatal swellings can at times be a challenging task for clinicians to diagnose, as they may result from various aetiological factors and can derive from the structures within palate or beyond it, either be congenital or acquired in origin. Nasopalatine duct cysts are the most common developmental non-odontogenic cysts account for 10% of maxillary cysts in oral cavity. Though exact aetiology is unknown, these cysts commonly arise from epithelial remnants of nasopalatine duct and usually present as asymptomatic swelling in anterior part of hard palate posterior to the palatal papilla. A unique case report of 28-year-old male patient manifested with a large palatal swelling in the middle of the hard palate with associated symptoms of burning sensation in nose, difficulty while swallowing and change in voice resonance. Radiographic findings revealed well-defined radiolucency in anterior maxilla causing disruption in nasal cavity with histopathological evidence of nasopalatine duct cyst is presented.
