Abstract

Odontogenic tumours composed of 2 distinct types of lesions are unusual. We present a hybrid odontogenic tumour composed of a calcifying cystic odontogenic tumour and a solid unicystic ameloblastoma that occurred in right posterior mandible of 26 year old male. The tumor had a cystic component with an ameloblastic epithelial lining and conglomerates of so-called ghost cells.
