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 actual incidence of odontogenic tumors is unknown because these lesions are often assumed (wrongly) to be incidental. Consequently, they are frequently not biopsied. Odontogenic tumors (OTs) arise from those embryonic tissues destined to develop into teeth and associated structures. OTs are considered neoplasms (cancers) that range from benign to invasive in biologic behavior.
