Abstract

The hyaline rings found in chronic periostitis and a radicular cyst were investigated ultrastructurally. These rings were composed of fine fibrillar material which was probably derived from degraded collagen fibrils. The rings sometimes enclosed blood vessels, giant cells, inflammatory cells, and bundles of collagen fibrils, all of which eventually became degraded and unrecognizable. Foreign-body material in the form of circular bodies of probable plant origin were also found and should not be confused with the hyaline rings.
