Its rarity, along with identical radiological and clinical features as other odontogenic lesions, often makes the diagnosis challenging. The current case report discusses the clinical, radiological, and histopathological features of DGCT in a 71\u2010year\u2010old female patient presenting with facial swelling and pain in the maxillary anterior region. Clinical examination revealed a hard, tender, localized swelling from the infraorbital to the zygomatic regions. Intraoral exam revealed a sessile swelling buccopalatally extending and involving the labial vestibule and hard palate. Imaging showed a unilocular, expansile lytic lesion with hyperdense contents and a thinned cortex, suggestive of odontogenic pathology. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of DGCT on the basis of ghost cells with calcification, ameloblastoma\u2010like epithelial islands, and dentinoid material in connective tissue. Treatment was done by wide local excision with a maxillary obturator prosthesis. Six\u2010month postoperative follow\u2010up showed no recurrence or complication. This case highlights the importance of combining clinical, radiological, and histopathological examination to diagnose rare odontogenic tumors like DGCT. Despite being benign, the tumor\u2032s aggressive potential demands radical resection and extended follow\u2010up for monitoring recurrence. The case also highlights the importance of raising awareness among clinicians to achieve optimum diagnostic yield and patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/crid\/5758655","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T05:17:58Z","timestamp":1765171078000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumor in an Elderly Female: A Rare Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7048-4867","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Akunchan","family":"Shrestha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9435-2482","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iccha Kumar","family":"Maharjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6982-8496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pragya","family":"Regmee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5420-3570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abhinaya","family":"Luitel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8489-6179","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mehul Rajesh","family":"Jaisani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4292-6074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Neetu","family":"Jain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8148-0951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shristi","family":"Maharjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-2804-7156","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Asha","family":"Rai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5032-3698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Regina","family":"Dahait","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8713-8500","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Numa","family":"Limbu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0030-4220(62)90159-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5005\/jp-journals-10024-1065"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016358109162284"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_2","volume-title":"Shafer\u2019s Textbook of Oral Pathology: Odontogenic Tumors","author":"Sivapathasundharam B.","year":"2023"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10006-021-01034-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12105-021-01347-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-023-03861-w"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"The World Health Organization Classification of Odontogenic Lesions: A Summary of the Changes of the 2017 (4th) Edition","volume":"34","author":"Soluk-Tekke\u015fin M.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Turkish Journal of Pathology"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5146\/tjpath.2022.01573"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00428-024-03749-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/jomfp.JOMFP_185_20"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcms.2013.10.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4322\/acr.2024.510"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_14_2","volume-title":"White and Pharoah\u2019s Oral Radiology: Principles and Interpretation","author":"Mallya S.
