  • Title: Pigment in the lining of nasopalatine duct cysts: report of two cases.
    Author: Stam FC, van der Waal I, van der Kwast WA.
    Journal: J Oral Pathol; 1979 Jun; 8(3):170-5. PubMed ID: 112232.
    Abstract:
    In a review of 20 nasopalatine duct cysts, two cases were encountered with a pigmented epithelial lining. In the literature we have found one similar case only. The pigment in our cases was shown to be melanin. The authors suggest that the melanin-containing epithelial cells are derived from Jacobson's organs and, therefore, most likely should be considered olfactory epithelium.
