Abstract Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma, is a nonneoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It occurs most commonly in the mandible but can also occur in maxilla. The case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examinations but was histopathologically diagnosed as CGCG. We describe a case of CGCG arising from the posterior maxilla to highlight the importance of histopathology in the diagnosis of this enigmatic lesion. Top Keywords Central giant cell granuloma, swellings of posterior maxilla. Top |
