An unusual case and they of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor, a peculiar variant of calcifying odontogenic cyst, is reported. The tumor consisted predominantly of ghost cells with occasional areas of "dentinoid" in close proximity to masses of ghost cells. The presence of ameloblastoma-like nests of epithelium was characteristic of the present case and they were interpreted as a degenerative phenomenon exhibiting an inductive effect with formation of abundant ghost cells, occurring within a pre-existing ameloblastoma. The term of "dentinogenic ghost cell tumor" is employed for this unique lesion presented in this report. The literature describing the neoplastic potential of the calcifying odontogenic cyst is briefly reviewed.
本文报道了一例牙本质生成性影细胞瘤的罕见病例，其为牙源性钙化囊肿的一种特殊变异型。肿瘤主要由影细胞组成，在影细胞团块附近偶尔可见“类牙本质”区域。成釉细胞瘤样上皮巢的存在是本病例的特征，它们被解释为一种退行性现象，在预先存在的成釉细胞瘤内表现出诱导作用并形成大量影细胞。本文报道的这种独特病变采用“牙本质生成性影细胞瘤”这一术语。文中简要回顾了描述牙源性钙化囊肿肿瘤潜能的文献。
