In an attempt to clarify the confusing concept of the so-called globulomaxillary cyst, we have reviewed all cases of this lesion occurring in the files of the CMDNJ-NJDS Biopsy Service between 1967--1977. We have discussed our cases in terms of the criteria used inconsistently in the literature of the globulomaxillary cyst: its location, the vitality of adjacent teeth, its histologic structure and its supposed origin from non-odontogenic embryonic epithelial remnants. We concluded that none of the criteria established the globulomaxillary cyst as a distinct entity and suggest that use of the term be discontinued.
为了厘清所谓球上颌囊肿这一令人困惑的概念，我们回顾了1967年至1977年间在CMDNJ - NJDS活检服务档案中出现的该病变的所有病例。我们根据球上颌囊肿文献中使用不一致的标准来讨论我们的病例：其位置、相邻牙齿的活力、其组织结构以及其假定起源于非牙源性胚胎上皮残余物。我们得出结论，所建立的标准均未将球上颌囊肿确立为一个独特的实体，并建议停止使用该术语。
