    This report details a rare ameloblastoma case with ghost cells. Ghost cells, like granular cells, are not specific to calcifying odontogenic cysts.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Odontogenic tumors

    Background:

    • Ameloblastoma is a common odontogenic tumor.
    • Acanthomatous ameloblastoma is a subtype.
    • Ghost cells are a feature of some odontogenic cysts.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of acanthomatous ameloblastoma was observed.
    • The tumor contained ghost cells and granular cells.
    • Ghost cells were located centrally within tumor cell follicles.

    Findings:

    • The staining properties of the observed ghost cells resembled those in calcifying odontogenic cysts.
    • The presence of ghost cells, granular cells, and hyaline bodies are not exclusive to calcifying odontogenic cysts.

    Implications:

    • This finding challenges the specificity of ghost cells for diagnosing calcifying odontogenic cysts.

  • It suggests a potential overlap in cellular features between ameloblastomas and certain cystic odontogenic lesions.
  • Further research may clarify the histogenesis and diagnostic criteria for these lesions.
