Diseases which involve the oral cavity usually derive their names from either Greek or Latin. These terms are customarily based on etiology or description of the lesion. However, because of various reasons, some of these terms are misnomers.
To review commonly encountered misnomers in oral pathology.
Most of the misnomers encountered in oral pathology may arise from lack of understanding of underlying etiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, and/or concepts. Some misnomers are due to imprecise translations from word origins, etymological bungles, and/or factual errors. Clinical, histopathological, and/or etymological explanations are used to analyze and elucidate the nature of these misnomers. Alternative terms, where possible, have been suggested.
涉及口腔的疾病通常以希腊语或拉丁语命名。这些术语通常基于病因或病变的描述。然而,由于各种原因,其中一些术语是误用的。
回顾口腔病理学中常见的误用。
在口腔病理学中遇到的大多数误用可能是由于对潜在病因、发病机制、组织病理学和/或概念缺乏了解所致。一些误用是由于词源的翻译不准确、词源学上的错误和/或事实错误。临床、组织病理学和/或词源学解释用于分析和阐明这些误用的性质。在可能的情况下,还提出了替代术语。
