“…Among them, more than half of them were recorded on Asian population. [ 5 ] The tumor has a predilection for men with men having twice as much chance of getting the tumor compared to women. Peak incidence is seen in patients aged 40–60 years but the age ranges from 11 to 79 years with a mean of 39.7 years.…”

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare tumor of odontogenic origin. A locally invasive lesion can be described by the presence of ameloblast-like epithelial islands, ghost cells, and dentinoid material. It is one of the few lesions with a predilection for the Asian population. The available literature has revealed that only 131 cases to date have been reported and published from 1968 to 2022. The following is a case report of a 25-year-old male with a tumor in the left lower back teeth region for the past 1 month. Orthopantomogram (OPG) reveals a well-defined unilocular radiolucency extending anteroposteriorly and crossing the midline. Histopathology revealed basal ameloblast-like cells and central stellate reticulum-like cells with the characteristic presence of ghost cells. The diagnosis was made based on the clinical, radiographical, and histopathological correlation and was confirmed using immunohistochemical analysis as a DGCT.
