Area of Science:

Oral Pathology
Oncology
Dentistry

Background:

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare benign neoplasm characterized by aberrant keratinization, ghost cells, and dentinoid material.
DGCT presents in central and peripheral types with distinct clinical features.
Fewer than 60 cases of DGCT have been documented globally.

Observation:

A 78-year-old male presented with a slow-growing, painless lump in the mandible.
An incisional biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor.
Treatment involved radical excision and upper marginal mandibulectomy.

Findings:

This report documents a rare case of peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumor.
The study highlights the diagnostic process and surgical management of this rare oral neoplasm.
Histological examination revealed characteristic ghost cells and dentinoid material.

Implications:

This case contributes to the understanding of peripheral DGCT, a rare entity.
Accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention are crucial for managing DGCT.
Further research into the biological behavior of DGCT may improve patient outcomes.
