“…The mean age of DGCT is higher than that of CCOT [6]. There was no clear predilection for sex in the recent review [7], whereas a slight predilection for men was documented in the WHO book published in 2005 [5]. Although DGCT may occur in any tooth-bearing area of the jaws, their review demonstrated a slight predilection for the mandible [7].…”

“…Radiographs show a well-defined, mostly unilocular radiolucent to mixed radiolucent/radiopaque appearance depending on the amount of calcification [5]. However, multilocular appearance has been also reported at least 5 cases [7]. Displacement and mobility of adjacent teeth may be observed and root resorption of involved teeth is a common finding [5].…”

A 46 year-old Korean man presented with a 2 month-history of a painful swelling on his left maxillary gingiva. Intraoral examination demonstrated a gingival swelling around the left lateral incisor and canine of the maxilla. The swelling was 4 cm in diameter, exhibiting redness and tenderness on palpation. The left central incisor and the lateral incisor were extruded with slight mobility. Panoramic and periapical radiographs revealed a periapical radiolucency extending from tooth #9 to 11, with radiopaque foci (Figs.

“…Radiographically ill defined and more destructive tumors should be treated by block or segmental resection of the jaw and long-term follow-up, including periodic CT, is essential. 3,9,22,30,36,37 A further study with more cases of DGCTs is necessary to clearly define its nature, clinical behavior and prognosis.…”

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T The dentinogenic ghost cell tumor is a rare solid variant of the calcifying odontogenic cyst. A 77-year-old man presented with a gingival mass on the alveolar crest mucosa of canine to first premolar of the right mandibular region. After clinical and radiological examination, the prediagnosis was peripheral ossifying fibroma. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the specimen was submitted for histopathologic evaluation. The lesion was characterized histopatholocially by ameloblastoma-like odontogenic epithelial proliferation, presence of ghost cells and dentinoid material. It was finally diagnosed as peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor after excision with a margin of sound bone. In this report, a rare new case is described and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Odontogenic tumors; odontogenic cyst, calcifying; tomography Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Dentinojenik hayalet hücreli tümör, kalsifiye odontojenik kistin nadir bir solid varyantıdır. Yetmiş yedi yaşında erkek hasta, sağ mandibular bölgede birinci premoların yanındaki köpek dişinin alveol kret mukozası üzerinde gingival bir kitle ile başvurdu. Klinik ve radyolojik muayeneye göre başlangıçta periferal ossifiye fibrom tanısı konuldu. İnsizyonel biyopsi yapılarak, alınan örnek histopatolojik değerlendirmeye gönderildi. Lezyonun, histopatolojik olarak artış gösteren ameloblastik hücrelere benzer odontojenik hücreler, hayalet hücreler ve dentinoid materyal içerdiği gözlendi. Histopatolojik olarak periferal dentinojenik hayalet hücreli tümör tanısından sonra lezyon cerrahi olarak eksize edildi. Bu yazıda nadir olarak izlenen dentinojenik hayalet hücreli tümör olgusu tanımlandı ve konuyla ilgili literatür kısaca gözden geçirildi.
