Further observations on the gingival cyst. Three case reports.
Three clinically discernable gingival cysts have been described and documented histologically. Two of these lesions occurred in the same patient in adjacent areas of the mouth. The potential origin of such cysts has been described. We suggest that gingival cysts are not clinical curiosities, as proposed in earlier reports.
