- Abstract
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor is an extremely rare odontogenic neoplasm that was initially considered to be a solid variant of Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst with locally aggressive nature. The main characteristic features of DGCT are ameloblastoma like odontogenic epithelial proliferation, an aberrant keratinization in the form of ghost cells and dysplastic dentin. DGCT occur as two forms intraosseous and extra osseous of which more aggressive intraosseous variety requires careful monitoring and aggressive local resection to prevent recurrence. Here we are reporting a case of intraosseous Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor in a 65 years old male patient with a clinical presentation of bony hard swelling in the right mandibular posterior region. This lesion was diagnosed with clinical, radiological and histopathological investigations which revealed it to be rare entity.
