ABSTRACT

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) previously came under the category of reparative granuloma. It is an intraosseous, non-neoplastic lesion of an undetermined etiology. The mandible is the most common location for this lesion. Histopathology plays an essential role in diagnosing it. Here, we present the case of an aggressive type of CGCG of the maxilla in a young adult lactating female patient.

Keywords: Giant cells, Granuloma, Osteolytic lesion.
