The deposits of homogeneous hyaline substances present in epithelium-containing odontogenic lesions were evaluated in 201 tumors. The material was evaluated to establish the types of odontogenic lesions capable of producing the substance, its frequency of occurrence, its microscopic variation, and the different morphologic relationships of the substance to the odontogenic epithelium present in the lesions. The deposits were found in 40.3 percent of the 201 odontogenic tumors and frequently in several other nonneoplastic odontogenic lesions. It was most consistent in odontomas but was found to some extent in all types of epithelium-containing odontogenic tumors. It was present either in a basement membrane location or as a diffuse deposit in the connective tissue. In the latter location, the deposits commonly contained enclaved islands of odontogenic epithelium and had a distinct tendency to calcify. The study also suggests that since some odontogenic tumors may contain large amounts of the hyaline deposits, multiple sections through different parts of the tumor may be required to find the epithelial elements necessary for the correct diagnosis.
对201例含上皮性牙源性病变中存在的均质透明物质沉积物进行了评估。对该物质进行评估，以确定能够产生该物质的牙源性病变类型、其发生率、微观变化以及该物质与病变中存在的牙源性上皮的不同形态学关系。在201例牙源性肿瘤中，40.3%发现有沉积物，并且在其他几种非肿瘤性牙源性病变中也经常发现。在牙瘤中最为一致，但在所有类型的含上皮性牙源性肿瘤中均有一定程度的发现。它要么位于基底膜位置，要么作为结缔组织中的弥漫性沉积物存在。在后一种位置，沉积物通常包含牙源性上皮的包埋岛，并且有明显的钙化倾向。该研究还表明，由于一些牙源性肿瘤可能含有大量透明沉积物，可能需要对肿瘤的不同部位进行多个切片，以找到正确诊断所需的上皮成分。
