　口腔は，常に多くの刺激に曝される環境にある。従つて種女の炎症，或は腫瘍の好発部位となり易い。

　最近偶々私は，上顎に発生した濾胞性歯牙嚢腫例を経験する機会を得たので報告したい。

Kurai reports a case of follicular dental cy-st found in a girl aged 11. The chief com-plaint of the patient was swelling of the ch-eek but there was no acompanying pain. The diagnosis was made by X-ray examination which revealed the cyst and above which was located the unerupted canine tooth. The cyst is removed surgically. and another X-ray exa-mination made 3 months later showed normal descent of the canine tooth in its course of eruption.
