(a) Photomicrograph stained by hematoxylin-eosin (200x) revealing features of a calcifying odontogenic cyst with presence of ghost cells (red arrow) associated with odontoma (asterisk). (b) Photomicrography showing a cystic lesion with a fibrous tissue capsule and lining of odontogenic epithelium of ameloblastic type loosely arranged with several amounts of ghost cells (200X). (c) Panoramic reconstruction of a control CBCT evidencing a new bone formation in the area (asterisk). Impacted first molar (white arrow).
