Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is an exceedingly rare malignant tumor on the spectrum of already uncommon odontogenic or dentinogenic tumors.

We will discuss typical histopathologic and histochemical features of GCOC, along with results of genomic testing and their role in directing therapy
