The odontogenic tumors stand for a group of lesions of a most interesting and fascinating kind. They represent mirror images of an uncontrolled odontogenesis. The insurmountable problems of insufficient knowledge of etiology, its exceptional rarity and diversity, as well as the lack of a generally accepted nomenclature and classification, defeat almost every attempt to gather and estimate clinical data of the various tumor forms. Considering these problems, various diagnostical criteria to deliminate each single tumor form have been valued and tabulated by means of statistical data, taken from world literature. Easily comprehensible clinical diagnosis, such as sex, age, location, and "characteristic" x-ray results have been valued and tabulated. From the variety of these most different classifications, being mentioned in a short historical survey, the "Histological Typing of Odontogenic Tumours, Jaw Cysts, and Allied Lesions", published by the WHO in 1971, has been chosen and taken as a basis. In addition to this rarely publicised data concerning the absolute and the relative frequency of these tumors have been compiled.
牙源性肿瘤是一组极其有趣且引人入胜的病变。它们是不受控制的牙胚发生的镜像。病因学知识不足、其异常罕见和多样，以及缺乏普遍接受的命名法和分类，这些难以克服的问题几乎挫败了每一次收集和评估各种肿瘤形式临床数据的尝试。考虑到这些问题，通过从世界文献中获取的统计数据，对界定每种单一肿瘤形式的各种诊断标准进行了评估并制成表格。易于理解的临床诊断，如性别、年龄、位置和“特征性”X线结果，都已进行评估并制成表格。在简短的历史回顾中提到了各种各样截然不同的分类，从中选择了世界卫生组织1971年出版的《牙源性肿瘤、颌骨囊肿及相关病变的组织学分类》作为基础。除此之外，还汇编了有关这些肿瘤绝对和相对发病率的极少公开的数据。
