Granular cell tumour developing in the background of a previous mandibular giant cell lesion: Case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Granular cell tumours of the mandible are very rare. We present a unique case which has developed at the site of a previous giant cell lesion. PRESENTATION 51 year old Caucasian lady had excision of a recurrent giant cell lesion of the anterior mandible. Follow up showed evidence of radiographic recurrence. However, further biopsies from the same site showed granular cell tumour with soft tissues extension. The patient remains well on long term follow up with no evidence of recurrence. DISCUSSION This case is unique because the granular cell tumour has evolved from the site of a recurrent giant cell lesion. Conservative surgical excision was an adequate treatment option. CONCLUSION Within the limitations of our case study, a correlation between granular cell tumour and giant cell lesion is possible. However, more research is needed to prove this.

متن کاملA very rare case of metachronous multicentric giant cell tumor of bone with benign lung metastasis in form of a very large mass lesion
Giant cell tumour (GCT) is a benign, locally aggressive tumour of the bone that accounts for 5% of primary bone tumours and 21% of benign bone tumours. This tumour more commonly presents as a single (solitary) lesion; however, it may appear with multiple (multicentric) lesions in less than 1% of the cases. According to the literature, 1-9% of solitary GCTs metastasizes to the lung, more commonl...
متن کاملHistopathologic Features of Giant Cell Arteritis in an Actinic Granuloma Lesion
The association between actinic granuloma and giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis) has been claimed by some authors. There is a hypothesis that actinic radiation has the principal role in the etiology of both diseases in a similar way. Here, we report a case of actinic granuloma that had characteristic pathologic features of giant cell arteritis in histopathologic examination without clini...

Congenital epulis is a very rare benign soft-tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, which is also known as “gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn”. It occurs almost exclusively as a single tumor along the alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborn females. Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter...
متن کاملMultiple Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the Mandible: A Case Report
Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma is a benign lesion but sometimes has aggressive proliferation composed of multinucleated giant cells in a background of spindle and ovoid mesenchymal cells. Multifocal central giant cell granuloma of jaws is very rare and usually associated with hyperparathyroidism and some syndromes. We described an un-usual case of a 22-year-old man with idi-opathic ...
