Abstract：
Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT), a variant of the calcifying odontogenic cyst, is considered to be a benign epithelial and mesenchymal neoplasm containing aberrant epithelial keratinization, ghost cells, and spherical calcifications. While there can be peripheral and central variants of this entity, the extraosseous type is rarer and usually innocuous in its clinical presentation. The aim of this article is to report a case of peripheral DGCT on the maxillary anterior region in a 14-year-old female evolving for 5 years and to emphasize the importance of histopathologic examination of gingival growths to avoid diagnostic pitfalls. A compilation of all reported cases in the English literature till date with details on the site, size, age sex, symptoms radiographic features, treatment follow-up, and recurrences has been attempted for better understanding of the biologic nature of this rare neoplasm.
摘要：
牙源性鬼细胞瘤（DGCT），牙源性钙化囊肿的一种变体,被认为是包含异常上皮角质化的良性上皮和间质肿瘤，鬼细胞,和球形钙化。虽然这个实体可以有外围和中心变体，骨外型是罕见的，通常无害的临床表现。本文的目的是报告一名14岁女性上颌前区周围DGCT的病例，该病例进化了5年，并强调对牙龈生长进行组织病理学检查以避免诊断陷阱的重要性。迄今为止，英语文献中所有报告的案例的汇编以及网站上的详细信息，尺寸,年龄性别,症状影像学特征，治疗随访,为了更好地了解这种罕见肿瘤的生物学性质，已经尝试了复发。
