Rushton Bodies Origin
Related to origin of rushton bodies two views were put forward i.e.
“Importance of studying Rushton bodies for better diagnostic outcomes: Questions explained”
- Rushton bodies were of odontogenic epithelial origin and are probably a form of keratin. — By Shear
- Hyaline bodies has hematogenous origin and they were derived from thrombi in venules of connective tissue that had become varicose and strangled by the cuffs of epithelium which encircle it and these bodies reacted histochemically as hemoglobin.
According to the authors who had given this view also suggested that thrombi shrink centrifugally and undergo splitting or calcify.
