Introduction: Calcifying ghost cell odontogenic tumor (CGCOT) is an uncommon developmental odontogenic cyst first described by Gorlin et al. in 1962; represent a heterogeneous group of lesions that exhibit a variety of clinicopathologic and behavioral features. Case Report: A 63-year-old female reported with a painless swelling in mandible for three months. After detailed clinical and histopathological examination, it was diagnosed as ameloblastomatous CGCOT (Type III) and operated. Conclusion: CGCOT (Type III) is considered to be rare and accounts for only 1% of jaw cysts reported. CGCOT has been classified under two basic groups namely, cystic and neoplastic. Because of its diverse histopathology, there has always been confusion about its nature as a cyst, neoplasm or hamartoma and its behavior. A very few cases of ameloblastomatous CGCOT (Type III) have been reported in literature. The proper surgical procedure is to be followed to minimize chances of recurrence.
