The fact that numerous embryologic epithelial remnants are a normal occurrence in the oral region is well known. That some of these epithelial remnants occur within peripheral nerves is less well known. This study presents examples of intraneural epithelial rests from 3 different anatomic sites: the soft tissues of the jaws (a juxtaoral organ of Chievitz), the posterior maxilla (an ondotogenic rest), and the anterior maxilla (a nasopalatine duct remnant). The purpose of this paper is to draw the attention of surgical pathologists to this phenomenon in the head and neck in order to avoid extensive unnecessary surgery.
众多胚胎上皮残余物在口腔区域正常存在这一事实是众所周知的。而其中一些上皮残余物出现在周围神经内则鲜为人知。本研究展示了来自3个不同解剖部位的神经内上皮剩余的实例：颌部软组织（契维茨口周器官）、上颌后部（牙源性剩余）和上颌前部（鼻腭管残余）。本文的目的是提请外科病理学家关注头颈部的这一现象，以避免进行广泛的不必要手术。
