Dentinogenic ghost cell tumor (DGCT) is a rare and benign odontogenic tumor composed of ghost cells, calcified tissue, and dentin. We present an extremely rare case of a 32-year-old female who was clinically diagnosed with an odontoma presenting with a painless swelling in her maxilla. Radiographic examination showed a well-defined radiolucent lesion with tooth-like calcified areas. The tumor was resected under general anesthesia. No recurrence was noted at the 12-month follow-up. Histopathological examination of the surgically resected tumor yielded a diagnosis of DGCT with odontoma.
