“…The epithelial lining of COC sometimes has the capacity to induce the formation of dental tissue in the connective tissue wall, mainly in the form of odontomas (Shamaskin et al 1989, Buchner 1991, Buchner et al 1990, 1991). Indeed, COC can be found in association with odontogenic tumors such as odontoameloblastoma, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor, and ameloblastoma (Lukinmaa et al 1997, Toida et al 1990, Buchner 1991, Buchner et al 1991, Shamaskin et al 1989, Takeda et al 1990). The ghost cells forming the suprabasal layers are large and lightly eosinophilic, with a cytoplasm containing diffuse tonofilaments, but not ortho‐ or parakeratin, and showing a faint outline of the cellular and nuclear membrane (Cawson et al 1998, Van der Waal 1991).…”
