Peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor: report of a case and literature review.
[dentin dysplasia]
Peripheral
dentinogenic
ghost
cell
tumor
is
a
rare
tumor
with
only
24
cases
previously
described
in
the
English
literature
.
The
majority
of
cases
have
been
reported
to
occur
in
the
anterior
part
of
the
jaws
.
A
case
occurring
in
posterior
(
molar
region
)
of
the
mandible
in
a
75
-
year
-old
edentulous
woman
is
reported
.
The
patient
presented
with
a
nodular
swelling
in
the
left
mandible
that
showed
erosion
(
saucerization
)
of
the
underlying
bone
radiographically
.
On
microscopy
,
the
tumor
showed
mainly
solid
epithelial
islands
resembling
ameloblastoma
in
fibrous
connective
tissue
.
The
islands
were
associated
with
ghost
cells
and
dysplastic
dentin
.
This
report
includes
the
clinical
,
radiographic
,
and
microscopic
features
of
the
patient
,
in
addition
to
the
review
of
the
English
literature
on
the
tumor
.
