Abstract
The occurrence of independent oral sebaceous tissue in both its normally situated
and aberrant forms has been described. A case has been presented in which the relatively
rare incidence of tissue which structurally appeared to resemble sebaceous glands
was found in a fairly widespread form in the wall of a dentigerous cyst.
It is notable that this occurrence probably represents an example of metaplasia involving
the change from one specialized epithelial derivative to another, as this dentigerous
cyst epithelium must already have taken part in normal tooth formation. While this
does not refute Willis's9 idea that glandular metaplasia from simple epidermis does not occur in nonneoplastic
conditions, it must still constitute presumptive evidence that metaplastic production
of glandular tissue remains a possibility.
