Abstract:
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare tumor of odontogenic origin. A locally invasive lesion can be described by the presence of ameloblast-like epithelial islands, ghost cells, and dentinoid material. It is one of the few lesions with a predilection for the Asian population. The available literature has revealed that only 131 cases to date have been reported and published from 1968 to 2022. The following is a case report of a 25-year-old male with a tumor in the left lower back teeth region for the past 1 month. Orthopantomogram (OPG) reveals a well-defined unilocular radiolucency extending anteroposteriorly and crossing the midline. Histopathology revealed basal ameloblast-like cells and central stellate reticulum-like cells with the characteristic presence of ghost cells. The diagnosis was made based on the clinical, radiographical, and histopathological correlation and was confirmed using immunohistochemical analysis as a DGCT.
摘要:
牙源性鬼细胞瘤(DGCT)是一种罕见的牙源性肿瘤。局部侵入性病变可以通过成釉细胞样上皮岛的存在来描述,鬼细胞,和牙类物质。这是少数对亚洲人群有偏爱的病变之一。现有文献显示,从1968年到2022年,迄今为止仅报告和发表了131例病例。以下是一例25岁男性在过去1个月中在左后下牙齿区域患有肿瘤的病例报告。正交图(OPG)显示了一个清晰的单眼射线可透,前后延伸并穿过中线。组织病理学显示基底成釉细胞样细胞和中央星状网状细胞样细胞,并特征性存在鬼细胞。根据临床做出诊断,radiographical,和组织病理学相关性,并使用免疫组织化学分析作为DGCT进行确认。
