Online published on 15 May, 2014. Abstract Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is a non neoplastic intra osseous lesion which exhibits a spectrum of clinical behavior ranging from nonaggressive to aggressive variants. This lesion occurs almost exclusively in the jaws, anterior to the molars and more commonly in the mandible. This paper presents a case of CGCG which occurred in the posterior region of the mandible as a proliferative growth distal to the first molar in a lactating female patient. The biopsy was taken with a provisional diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. But histopathology confirmed the case as CGCG. The clinical, radiographic, and histologic appearances, as well as the appropriate treatment, are discussed in light of the current literature.
