We are reporting two cases of dentinogenic ghost cells tumor (DGCT). Case 1: A 55-year-old female, who is a smoker, presented with a painless lesion in the left maxilla following a tooth extraction. Physical examination revealed an enlargement in the left maxillary region with buccal and palatal bone protrusion. A tomography scan was performed, which showed a hypodense image causing bulging/thinning (BT) of the floor of the maxillary sinus and left orbital area. An incisional biopsy was carried out, followed by the enucleation of the lesion. Case 2: A 43-year-old male, who is an ex-smoker, complained of a lesion in the anterior mandible. Tomography revealed a hypodense image causing root resorption of the anterior teeth and BT of the buccal cortical bone. An incisional biopsy was performed, initially suggesting ameloblastoma with dentinoid areas. Subsequently, the lesion was resected, and the examination revealed the presence of ghost cells, ameloblastomatous proliferation, and dentinoid areas, leading to the final diagnosis of DGCT. Both patients are currently under follow-up with no signs of relapse.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
