Peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor: case report
Peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare benign mixed epithelial and mesenchymal odontogenic neoplasm, with approximately 52 cases reported in the literature. A 48-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of a painless, slow-growing swelling in the mandible caused by a removable denture that evolved over 1 year. Her medical history was unremarkable. Intraoral examination showed a pinkish, firm nodule, with erythematous areas, in the left mandibular alveolar ridge. Panoramic radiographic examination revealed no signs of bone involvement.
