Abstract
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumours (DGCTs) are uncommon neoplasms classified as solid variants of calcifying odontogenic cyst and are defined as a locally invasive neoplasm, characterized by ameloblastoma-like islands of aberrant keratinization of odontogenic epithelium in the form of ghost cells in association with dysplastic dentine. We report an interesting case of recurrent DGCT of the mandible in a 52-year-old male which was previously misdiagnosed as adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT).
