["Pseudo-carcinomatous hyperplasia" of the epithelial rests of Malassez (author's transl)].
A case of mandibular osteitis is reported, showing histologically, an important pseudo peitheliomatous hyperplasia. A possible histological explanation of this observation is that the inflammatory process may be responsible for an odontogenic cell rest (of Malassez) hyperplasia derived from the dental lamina.
