Abstract
|
|
|
Bone tumors of the mandible, maxilla, and facial bones are relatively uncommon and their histologic characteristics not infrequently result in confusion and indecision with respect to diagnoses.
Giant cell granuloma is benign reactive lesion of bone occuring more commonly in the mandible and seen predominately in children, adolescents and young adult.
Giant cell granuloma of the jaws have to be considered reactive lesions and not true neoplasms with malignant potential.
The true Giant cell tumor of the bone is more specifically a lesion of long bones.
The granuloma usually presents as a swelling or expansile lesion within bone and is commonly associated with a sensation of increased pressure or pain.
Roentgengrams show radiolucent area of varying size, and , on occasion, the ubiquitous "soap bubble" appearance is presented.
The management of the Giant cell granuloma is generally considered to be thorough curettage and surgical excision to the margins of the lesion.
Here we report a case of Giant cell granuloma of the mandible in two years old female patient.
