case_images: Overlying mucosa was normal in appearance except for mucosa in relation to teeth number 33 to 35, which was ulcerated (Figure 1).
case_images: Orthopantomogram showing well-defined radiolucency with scalloped border.. Notes: Few areas showing multiple foci of radiopacity. There is obvious evidence of root resorption.

case_images: Orthopantomogram revealed a well-defined radiolucency with scalloped border extending from 37 to 46 (Figure 2).
case_images: Cystic capsule lined with epithelium composed of a well-defined basal layer of cuboidal cells with reversal of polarity.. Notes: The superficial cells resemble stellate reticulum. Ghost cells present within the epithelium lining as well as inside the connective capsule.

case_images: The calcified mass, upon decalcification, showed dentinoid with entrapped pulp-tissue-like structures (Figure 5).
case_images: Odontogenic epithelial islands seen adjacent to the calcified mass showing evidence of ghost cell formation.

case_images: f6-ccide-7-091
case_images: Numerous odontogenic epithelial islands were seen adjacent to the calcified mass and showed evidence of ghost cell formation and ghost cell calcification (Figure 6).
case_images: Intraoral view 15 days after surgery showing uneventful healing.
