Abstract
Mehdi Shahabinejad and Maryam Mohammadi
Ghost Cell Tumors (GCT) are a class of lesions that can exist in the form of a cyst or solid neoplastic tumor, and in terms of behavior, they can be benign, locally invasive, or metastatic. They are identified by the presence of ame-loblastic epithelium, ghost cell, and calcification. These lesions are mostly prevalent in the lower jaw, anterior mandible area. They are distributed equally between the male and female population in the second, sixth, and eighth decades of life. Since the recurrence rate is very low, it seems that a conservative approach is sufficient for most cases. Here, we present a rare case of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor in the left sinus of a 32-year-old male patient. It is temporarily diagnosed through clinical findings and .radiographic scan, and later on, confirmed via histology
