INTRAOSSEOUS AND EXTRAOSSEOUS VARIANTS OF DENTINOGENIC GHOST CELL TUMOR: TWO CASE REPORTS

Abstract

This paper aims to present both intraosseous and extraosseous variant of dentinogenic ghost cell tumor as well as a review of the literature. An 11-year old female patient presented a swelling and pain in the molar area of the mandible and a 15-year-old female patient reported a complaint of swelling in the right vestibular region of teeth 12 and 13(FDI 2-digit classification system). Microscopic examinations showed similar features which characterized by ameloblastoma-like islands of epithelial cells, containing numerous ghost cells. The patients have been disease-free for one year. This paper aims to describe this rare tumor and to increase the number of cases in the literature to better understand its biologic behavior and treatment options.

Kemik içi ve Periferik Dentinogenik Gölge Hücreli Tümör: İki olgu sunumu

Abstract

Bu yazıda dentinogenik gölge hücreli tümörün kemik içi ve kemik dışı olmak üzere iki tipini sunmaktayız. Mandibula molar bölgede ağrı ve şişlik şikayeti olan 11 yaşında bir kız çocuğu ve maksilla 12- 13 numaralı dişlerin vestibül bölgesinde şişlik şikayeti olan 15 yaşında kız çocuğu kliniğe başvurmuştur. Mikroskopik değerlendirmede benzer görüntüler izlenmiştir. Epitelyal hücrelerin oluşturduğu yoğun gölge hücreleri içeren ameloblastik adacıklar görülmektedir. Bir yıllık kontrollerinde bir yineleme yoktur. Bu yazı ile ender görülen bu olguların literatüre kazandırılması ve biyolojik davranış ve tedavi seçeneklerinin daha net anlaşılması için amaçlanmıştır
