Intraneural and perineural epithelial structures

G P Wysocki, B A Wright

    Head & Neck Surgery
    |September 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Epithelial rests within peripheral nerves are uncommon but normal findings in the head and neck. Recognizing these intraneural epithelial rests can prevent unnecessary surgical procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Surgical pathology
    • Head and neck anatomy

    Background:

    • Embryologic epithelial remnants are common in the oral region.
    • The presence of these remnants within peripheral nerves is less recognized.

    Observation:

    • This study documents intraneural epithelial rests in three distinct head and neck locations.
    • Examples include juxtaoral organ of Chievitz in the jaws, odontogenic rests in the posterior maxilla, and nasopalatine duct remnants in the anterior maxilla.

    Findings:

    • Intraneural epithelial rests represent a normal embryologic occurrence.
    • These rests can be found in various anatomic sites within the head and neck.

    Implications:

    • Awareness of this phenomenon is crucial for surgical pathologists.
