Resumo

This case reports on a rare odontogenic tumour in a child presented with a gingival mass in the incisive papilla. Radiological examination did not show osseous alteration. A surgical excision was performed. A diagnosis of the peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumour was made. The patient is currently undergoing follow-up procedures and no recurrences have been reported. Peripheral cases of this tumour are few and tend to be quite rare, especially in children. This article is the first reported case of peripheral dentinogenic ghost cell tumour in children.
