Mandible giant-cell reparative granuloma.

Giant cell granuloma of the respiratory tract or Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is considered an intraosseous, nonneoplasm tumor, responsible for less than 7% of all the mandible expansive lesions, its most common site of involvement. It affects more often the young people 75% of the cases happen to patients below 30 years of age. There is a greater predilection for females. This paper describes a CGCG case, with mandible involvement and revises characteristics inherent to CGCG, with emphasis in diagnosis, thus yielding a less mutilating treatment.
