| Summary: | Dentigerous cyst is one of the most common odontogenic cysts of the jaw that slowly grows around
an unerupted tooth crown. Nasopalatine duct cyst is a non-odontogenic common jaw cyst. Co-occurrence
of nasopalatine duct cyst and dentigerous cyst in the same location of the same jaw is extremely
rare. Odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts occurring simultaneously in non-syndromic
patients is rare. The lesions must be fully extracted by surgery. We report the treatment procedure
of a patient suffering from this rare phenomenon.
