non-viable cells appearing as pale, shadowy outlines
Ghost cells are non-viable cells that have lost their nuclei and cytoplasmic details, often appearing as pale, shadowy outlines under a microscope. They are commonly seen in certain pathological conditions, such as pilomatricoma, a type of benign skin tumor, where they result from the degeneration of hair matrix cells.
