The odontogenic tumours represent a group of interesting and fascinating changes in tissue which demonstrate a confusing picture of uncontrolled odontogenesis. A lack of knowledge of actiology, extraordinary rarity, polymorphism in their nature and lack of agreement on a commonly accepted nomenclature and classification put nearly insurmountable difficulties in the way of every experiment to gather and analyse the clinical behaviour of the different forms of these tumours. Initially, differential diagnostic criteria defining each form of tumour were derived from representative combined statistics in the world literature; simply registered findings as to age, sex, site and "characteristic" X-ray appearances were evaluated and registered tubularly. The "Histological Tying of Odontogenic Tumours, Jaw Cysts, and Allied Lesions", published by WHO in 1971, was chosen and taken as the basis for our evaluation, together with the sparse data in the literature concerning the absolute and relative frequency of these tumours.
牙源性肿瘤代表了一组组织中有趣且迷人的变化，这些变化呈现出一幅不受控制的牙源性发育的混乱图景。病因学知识的匮乏、极其罕见、性质的多态性以及在普遍接受的命名法和分类上缺乏共识，给每一项收集和分析这些肿瘤不同形式的临床行为的实验都带来了几乎无法克服的困难。最初，定义每种肿瘤形式的鉴别诊断标准源自世界文献中的代表性综合统计数据；仅对年龄、性别、部位和“特征性”X线表现等已记录的发现进行评估并按类别记录。我们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》作为评估的基础，并结合文献中有关这些肿瘤绝对和相对发生率的稀少数据。
