(A) Clinical intra-oral view showing exophytic, sessile, with an average size of 0.8mm, with similar coloring of the normal mucosa and well-defined nodule located in the incisive papilla. (B) Periapical radiographic view did not demonstrate any osseous involvement. (C) Odontogenic epithelium proliferation is covered with stratified squamous epithelium and well-circumscribed by connective tissue (Haematoxilin and eosin-HE, original magnification 25×). (D) Minor cyst and dysplastic dentine were observed (HE, original magnification 100×). (E) Odontogenic epithelium sheet presents cell ameloblastoma-like and ghost cells (HE, original magnification 100×). (F) Ghost cells are large, polygonal cells with pale eosinophilic, homogenous cytoplasm and shadowy nuclear outlines (HE, original magnification 400×). (G) Clinical intra-oral view after 11 months of follow-up showing the incisive papilla with normal aspects.
