The potential of odontogenic epithelium to keratinize in the form of ghost cells is demonstrated in the histologic variants of a number of odontongic tumors. Although the cells lack keratohyaline granules, they do contain abundant tonofilaments and probably represent an altered form of keratin. The presence of this material in odontogenic tumors does not appear to alter clinical occurence or clinical behavior.
牙源性上皮形成鬼细胞角化的潜能在多种牙源性肿瘤的组织学变异型中得到证实。尽管这些细胞缺乏透明角质颗粒,但它们确实含有丰富的张力细丝,可能代表一种改变形式的角蛋白。这种物质在牙源性肿瘤中的存在似乎并未改变其临床发生率或临床行为。
