In a review of 20 nasopalatine duct cysts, two cases were encountered with a pigmented epithelial lining. In the literature we have found one similar case only. The pigment in our cases was shown to be melanin. The authors suggest that the melanin-containing epithelial cells are derived from Jacobson's organs and, therefore, most likely should be considered olfactory epithelium.
在对20例鼻腭管囊肿的回顾中,发现2例囊肿的上皮衬里有色素沉着。在文献中,我们仅找到1例类似病例。我们病例中的色素经证实为黑色素。作者认为,含黑色素的上皮细胞源自雅各布森器官,因此很可能应被视为嗅觉上皮。
