The word "epulis" is a clinical term used to describe a localized growth on the gingiva. Histologic examination of epulides indicates that the vast majority are focal fibrous hyperplasias, peripheral ossifying fibromas, pyogenic granulomas or peripheral giant cell granulomas. Data, derived from a 12-year retrospective study of gingival lesions submitted to the Oral Pathology Diagnostic Service at The University of Western Ontario, are the subject of this paper. The results indicate that the major epulides are common oral lesions with which dentists should be thoroughly familiar. The histologic features and clinical relevance of these lesions are examined and analyzed and their biological and clinical behavior are discussed.
“龈瘤”一词是用于描述牙龈局部生长的临床术语。龈瘤的组织学检查表明，绝大多数是局灶性纤维增生、外周骨化性纤维瘤、化脓性肉芽肿或外周巨细胞肉芽肿。本文的主题是来自西安大略大学口腔病理诊断服务中心对牙龈病变进行的一项为期12年的回顾性研究的数据。结果表明，主要的龈瘤是常见的口腔病变，牙医应充分熟悉这些病变。本文对这些病变的组织学特征和临床相关性进行了检查和分析，并讨论了它们的生物学和临床行为。
