case_images: The outer layers of the cells were composed of loosely arranged angular cells resembling stellate reticulum, which in some areas were eosinophilic, ballooned, and keratinized forming ghost cells [Figure 3].

case_images: Irregular masses of hyalinized acellular calcified material (dentinoid) were also observed in the connective tissue, in relation to both epithelial lining and masses of ghost cells [Figure 4, Figure 5].
