GARCIA GARCIA, Blas; RUIZ MASERA, Juan José; ZAFRA CAMACHO, Francisco Manuel y CENTELLA GUTIERREZ, Concepción. Intraosseous dentinogenic ghost cell tumor: case report and treatment review. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2015, vol.37, n.4, pp.243-246. ISSN 2173-9161. https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maxilo.2014.03.007.
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumors (DGCT) are uncommon neoplasms classified as solid variants of calcifying odontogenic cyst and are defined as a locally invasive neoplasm, characterized by ameloblastoma-like islands of aberrant keratinization of odontogenic epithelium in the form of ghost cells in association with dysplastic dentin. We present the case of a 46-year-old woman who was referred to us due to dental mobility and swelling of the jaw. The different imaging and histological studies confirmed the diagnosis of a dentinogenic ghost cell tumor. Treatment was based on aggressive local resection with adequate safety margins, and monitoring the patient for detection of recurrences. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of DGCT and the treatment adopted in our case, and to provide a review of the treatment of the cases reported in the indexed literature.
