Odontogenic tumor with an uncertain diagnosis: a case report

The calcifying odontogenic cyst is an uncommon lesion with an incidence of 1% of all odontogenic cysts and tumors. It is characterized microscopically by ameloblastoma-like odontogenic epithelial proliferation, presence of ghost cells, and dentinoid-like material. It was previously described by Gorlin et al. in 1962 and because of its diverse histologic picture, several terms have been used over time by different authors to describe this lesion.
