Abstract

A 13-year-old black girl was referred for evaluation of a nonhealing extraction site of 2 years' duration. Radiographs revealed a large, irregularly shaped, mixed radiolucent/radiopaque lesion that occupied almost the entire left area of the maxilla and crossed the midline. Microscopic examination revealed irregular dentinoid material with odontogenic epithelium that exhibited ghost cell keratinization and anaplastic changes. The patient underwent a hemimaxillectomy, and 7 years after surgery she appears to be free of disease.
