Abstract
Epithelial islands in association with nerve fibers in the jaw bones have been reported
previously. We describe two such cases and present evidence that the epithelial structures
as observed in this study are odontogenic rests and not neuroepithelial organs. Regardless
of origin, it should be recognized that these epithelial islands do not represent
neural invasion by carcinoma.
