Dendritic cells with the ultrastructural and immunocytochemical characteristics of Langerhans cells are commonly identified in lymphoid organs and in keratinized and non-keratinized epithelia, such as oral mucosa. These types of cells were previously described in the epithelial wall of periapical odontogenic cysts. S-100 protein positive cells were demonstrated immunocytochemically in all of our 142 cases of odontogenic cysts (32 developmental cysts; 110 inflammatory cysts). Their tropism for squamous epithelia may explain their presence in the epithelial wall of odontogenic cysts. Their number is not always correlated with an inflammatory condition.
具有朗格汉斯细胞超微结构和免疫细胞化学特征的树突状细胞通常在淋巴器官以及角化和非角化上皮中被识别出来，比如口腔黏膜。这类细胞此前已在根尖牙源性囊肿的上皮壁中有所描述。在我们的142例牙源性囊肿（32例发育性囊肿；110例炎性囊肿）中，通过免疫细胞化学方法均证实了S-100蛋白阳性细胞。它们对鳞状上皮的嗜性可能解释了它们在牙源性囊肿上皮壁中的存在。它们的数量并不总是与炎症状态相关。
