“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In 1971, the World Health Organization described the COC as a non-neoplastic cystic lesion; nevertheless, they classified it under the category of benign tumors related to the odontogenic apparatus. 1 COCs account only for 1% to 2% of all odontogenic tumors, and only 2% to 14% of all COCs are solid tumors.…”

“…1,[15][16][17][18][19] It occurs predominantly in old people and can present as a peripheral (in the gingival soft tissues outside bone) or central (intraosseous) lesion. 8,9 The aim of this report is to present a new case of dentinogenic ghost-cell tumor and review the literature.…”

“…9 Radiologically, the peripheral DGCT causes no alteration or only mild erosion or saucerization of the cortical bones. The central DGCT has been described as a purely radiolucent or mixed radiolucent-radiopaque lesion.…”

“…16,19,21 In our case, similar to published data of Wong et al, dentinogenic ghost cell tumor was located peripheral type with central infiltration. 9 Histologically, DGCTs are composed primarily of ameloblastoma-like areas and odontogenic epithelial islands with varying amounts of ghost cells showing keratinization and calcification. 4,17,22 The most important histological feature of DGCTs that distinguishes it from conventional ameloblastoma and other odontogenic tumors is the presence of ghost cells and dentinoid subtances.…”

“…However, based on the current literature, it appears that most DGCTs are peripheral lesions arising in the extraosseous gingival or alveolar mucosa, and the canine to first premolar region is most frequently affected area although anterior and posterior segments of the jaws may also be involved (Table 1). 4,7,9,10,[13][14][15]17,24,[26][27][28] Most patients were older than 50 years of age and there was a slight predilection for men. 3,9,14,20 Patients were usually without symptoms, although a few have complained of pain or discomfort.…”

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.
