This paper reports 10 new cases of ghost cell odontogenic tumors retrieved from the files of the Oral Pathology Service of the Faculty of Dentistry (UDELAR), Montevideo, Uruguay. These tumors accounted for 0.08% of total biopsies and 2.9 % of all registered odontogenic neoplasms. Nine cases were calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors (CCOT) and one dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT), eight in central and two in peripheral locations (one cystic and one solid variant). Clinical, radiographic and histopathological features are presented and compared with reported cases in literature.

Keywords : Odontogenic tumors; odontogenic ghost cells tumors; calcifying odontogenic cyst; calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors; dentinogenic ghost cell tumor.
