A Peripheral Dentinogenic Ghost Cell Tumor With Immunohistochemical Investigations and a Literature Review-Based Clinicopathological Comparison Between Peripheral and Central Variants

In conclusion, similar cytokeratin expression in both the tumor and surface epithelium can be used to support oral surface epithelial origin, while CK14 positivity confirms the odontogenic derivation of the peripheral DGCT described in the report. In contrast to central DGCT, the peripheral DGCT is a distinct lesion with characteristic clinicopathological profile and nonaggressive behavior.
