The handpiece emits a safe blue light into the oral cavity that penetrates the
stratified squamous epithelium, inducing fluorescence in normal cells.
3) Histologic examinations have shown that congenital lacrimal fistulae are lined with
stratified squamous epithelium that is similar to that of normal canaliculi.
In one large series of 64 cysts, 41% of cysts showed pseudostratified columnar epithelium only, and in, respectively, 14% or 23%
stratified squamous epithelium or cuboidal epithelium was also present.
Microscopic examination showed a dilated cystic cavity lined with
stratified squamous epithelium arising from the skin surface.
The epithelial lining of branchial cleft cysts varies, ranging from a combination of
stratified squamous epithelium and columnar ductal epithelium to a pattern of columnar ciliated epithelium with goblet cells and no squamous epithelium.
In just 2 foci, the malignant neoplasm connected to the epidermal surface via a funnel-shaped opening, and the epithelium in those regions displayed a gradual transition of
stratified squamous epithelium at the surface to glandular epithelium within the cystic space.
Most of these (75%) are cysts characterized by a uniform, smooth, unilocular space lined by
stratified squamous epithelium (90%), respiratory epithelium (8%), or a combination and are typically surrounded by a variable amount of lymphoid stroma.
Histopathologic diagnostic criteria of SAN include (1) location in dermis and subcutis of nipple or areola; (2) irregular, compressed, or comma-shaped tubules infiltrating into smooth muscle bundles and/or nerves; (3) presence of myoepithelial cells around the tubules; (4) presence of cysts lined by
stratified squamous epithelium and filled with keratinous material; and (5) absence of mitotic activity and necrosis.
Histopathologic examination of the mass revealed a fibrocollagenous wall that was lined with
stratified squamous epithelium.
Histologically, dentigerous cysts typically feature a thin connective-tissue wall that is lined by a thin layer of
stratified squamous epithelium within the lumen.
The cyst was lined by keratinizing
stratified squamous epithelium with a granular layer (Figure 3).
