Ghost cells are swollen eosinophilic epithelial cells that have lost their nuclei but retain the cellular and nuclear outline. Pathologic ghost cell formation could be the process of aberrant keratinization or the result of coagulative necrosis. Ghost cells have been described in several odontogenic lesions, which include calcifying epithelial odontogenic cysts or tumours like odontomas, ameloblastic fibro-odontomas, and ameloblastomas. This article present a view on the formation of ghost cells with proposal/introduction of a classification for ghost cell lesions of the oral cavity in an attempt to organize these lesions for the better understanding and academic purpose.
鬼影细胞是肿胀的嗜酸性上皮细胞，其细胞核已消失，但仍保留细胞和细胞核轮廓。病理性鬼影细胞形成可能是异常角化过程或凝固性坏死的结果。在几种牙源性病变中已描述到鬼影细胞，其中包括钙化上皮性牙源性囊肿或肿瘤，如牙瘤、成釉细胞纤维牙瘤和成釉细胞瘤。本文就鬼影细胞的形成提出一种观点，并对口腔鬼影细胞病变提出/引入一种分类方法，以期对这些病变进行整理，以便更好地理解并用于学术目的。
