Title Of Article :
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumour of mandible: Case report
Abstract :
A 67 year old man with a gingival mass of six months duration was evaluated by aspiration cytology and excisional biopsy. Cytologic findings showed degenerated benign epithelial cells reminiscent of benign odontogenic keratocyst. However, the excisional biopsy was quite remarkable with odontogenic epithelium showing aberrant keratinization, i.e., ghost cells and dysplastic dentin that were features of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor. There was no sign of malignancy. After local resection of the mass, there was not any complication or recurrence six months later.
