Yucca species are the host plants for the caterpillars of the yucca giant-skipper (Megathymus yuccae), ursine giant-skipper (Megathymus ursus), and Strecker's giant-skipper (Megathymus streckeri).ried yucca leaves and trunk fibers have a low ignition temperature, making the plant desirable for use in starting fires via friction. In rural Appalachian areas, species such as Yucca filamentosa are referred to as meat hangers.
Central odontogenic fibroma (88686005); Odontogenic fibroma (88686005) Definition A benign intraosseous neoplasm arising from tooth-forming tissues in the mandible and maxilla, characterized by the presence of islands of odontogenic epithelium.
The calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor (CEOT), or Pindborg tumor, is a benign infiltrative odontogenic tumor that is one of the rarest. It is named after Jens Pindborg, the Danish oral pathologist. It is most often found in the mandibular molar/premolar region, but 33% of cases are found in the maxilla.wo thirds of the cases occur in the anterior maxilla, one third occur in the anterior mandible, and it is never found posterior to the premolars. Two thirds of the cases occur in females, and two thirds of the cases are associated with an impacted tooth (usually the cuspid).
