Intraosseous Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumor – A rare entity : a case report

Abstract

Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is an infrequent, neoplastic form of the Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst (COC). It has local invasive behavior and accounts for 2-14% of all COCs. The intraosseous DGCT is less likely to occur and less literature is available for the recurrent lesion. Hereby, we present the case of a 22-year-old male patient having recurrent DGCT in the right posterior maxilla. This patient was managed by hemimaxillectomy followed by immediate obturator and close monitoring for detection of recurrence.
