Eight cases from a series of 75 odontomas were found to contain ghost cell epithelium. Clinical, radiologic and histologic findings in these cases did not differ significantly from those of odontomas in general. The results obtained with several staining methods, including rhodamin B under fluorescent light, suggest that the ghost cells represent different stages in the process of ortho-, para- and aberrant keratin formation. Ghost cells should be viewed as the product of metaplastic transformation of the odontogenic epithelium with no significance for the prognosis and treatment of odontomas.
在75例牙瘤中，有8例发现含有影细胞上皮。这些病例的临床、放射学和组织学表现与一般牙瘤相比无显著差异。包括荧光灯下罗丹明B在内的几种染色方法的结果表明，影细胞代表了正角化、副角化和异常角化过程中的不同阶段。影细胞应被视为牙源性上皮化生转化的产物，对牙瘤的预后和治疗无意义。
