Ghost Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma

A carcinoma usually arising from the maxilla and less often the mandible. Symptoms include swelling and paresthesia. It is characterized by the presence of rounded islands of malignant epithelial cells in a fibrous stroma and the benign features of calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor. The clinical course varies from slow growing and locally invasive to rapidly growing and highly aggressive with metastases. (NCI Thesaurus)
