Controversies Regarding Histogenesis: The source of origin of lateral periodontal cysts remains controversial, with extensive debate in the literature over whether the lesion derives from the dental lamina, reduced enamel epithelium, or rests of Malassez.3 Due to the morphologic similarity between the lateral periodontal cyst's epithelial lining, reduced enamel epithelium, and the presence of focal epithelial thickenings similar to that seen in the lining of dentigerous cysts, it has been hypothesized that the source of derivation is the reduced enamel epithelium of an erupting tooth.

It was suggested that extraskeletal osteosarcomas might represent malignant growth of a single component in a teratoma.[sup.23] Chitiyo listed 4 possible methods of histogenesis: (1) metaplasia of the bladder epithelium; (2) stromal metaplasia; (3) transfer of osteoblasts via blood stream; or (4) the development of osteoblasts from immature mesenchymal tissue derived from the Wolfian body from which the trigone develops.[sup.6] Kikuchi and colleagues suggested that the frequent location of these tumours in the trigone is evidence of an origin from the Wolfian body.[sup.19] In our case, the tumour was located near the trigone and can supports Kikuchi's hypothesis.
