Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma(GCOC)is a rare malignant tumor originating in the jawbone,which can ex-hibit clinically and radiographically malignant features distinct from benign odontogenic tumors,such as large tumor size and adjacent bone destruction,but these features lack specificity;therefore,diagnosis often relies on pathological mor-phology.Characterized by abnormal keratinized ghost cells,small basaloid cells,and dentin-like deposits,accurate identi-fication of GCOC holds significant clinical importance and is beneficial for patient prognosis.This paper reported a case of GCOC in the left maxilla and reviewed the relevant literature.
