What has ghost cells?

  1. Dentigerous cyst

  2. Lateral periodontal cyst

  3. Gorlin cyst

  4. Bohn's nodules

The correct answer is: Gorlin cyst

Ghost cells are a characteristic feature of a Gorlin cyst, also known as a calcifying odontogenic cyst. Ghost cells are the result of keratinization of cells within the cyst lining. In contrast, dentigerous cysts are associated with the crown of an unerupted or partially erupted tooth, lateral periodontal cysts are found adjacent to the roots of vital teeth, and Bohn's nodules are epithelial remnants on the dental lamina. These structures do not exhibit ghost cells.
