Abstract
An unusual case of hyaline ring granuloma arising from the connective tissue wall of a residual apical periodontal cyst is reported. Hyaline rings with foreign-body type giant cell inclusions were a significant feature in the histopathologic diagnosis. Histochemical and polarized light microscopic studies suggested that the introduction of foreign material, possibly cellulose, through the postextraction socket into the cystic wall may have caused the granulomatous reaction and formation of the hyaline ring granuloma. The clinical features of this case and 66 previously reported cases, as well as the pathogenesis of the hyaline rings, are discussed.
