Surgical pathologists are cautioned against the misinterpretation of immature dental tissues (dental papillae and follicles) and dental pulp as odontogenic tumors, especially odontogenic myxomas and fibromas. The close histologic similarity of the immature tissues to tumors may require a clinical-radiologic correlation with the histopathologic specimen in order to distinguish the locally aggressive tumors from innocuous dental tissues.
外科病理学家应警惕将未成熟的牙组织（牙乳头和滤泡）及牙髓误判为牙源性肿瘤，尤其是牙源性黏液瘤和纤维瘤。未成熟组织与肿瘤在组织学上的相似性很高，这可能需要将临床影像学表现与组织病理学标本进行关联，以便区分具有局部侵袭性的肿瘤和无害的牙组织。
