Carcinoma Cuniculatum: A Rare Malignancy With Unique Diagnostic Dilemmas.

Carcinoma cuniculatum is an extremely rare and often indolent cancer that can mimic a benign process, such as osteomyelitis or odontogenic infections. This results in a definitive diagnosis that is delayed. To complicate the evaluation of this uncommon neoplasm, biopsies are often misinterpreted secondary to an incorrectly obtained tissue sample.

Ghost Cell Odontogenic Carcinoma Arising in a Previous Calcifying Odontogenic Cyst: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is a rare malignant tumor of odontogenic origin, with only about 50 cases reported in the English literature so far. Histologically, it is characterized by ghost cells, dentinoid deposits, high grade malignant cellular features, and areas of necrosis and invasion. Having common histological features with other odontogenic ghost cell lesions (OGCL) like calcifying odontogenic cyst (COC) and dentinogenic ghost cell tumors, it is crucial to recognize GCOC malignant features, as it can be destructive and invasive, sometimes showing distant metastases and high recurrence rate.
