or from locally enlarged lymph nodes. Most preparations showed a chronic granulomatous reaction consisting of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and epithelioid cells as well as either Langhans's or foreignbody type giant cells, or both. The degree of granuloma formation and giant cell infiltration varied. In only one case did the reactions consist merely of chronic lymphocytic and histiocytic inflammat...

Reparative giant cell granulomas are benign, infrequent tumors, of non-odontogenic origin, that develop at central or peripheral level. Peripherally located lesions are frequently denominated "giant cell epulis", and never correspond to true neoplasia, but rather to inflammatory reactions secondary to another lesion (hemorrhage, etc.). It should be taken into account, that in general, head and ...

Giant cell granuloma is an uncommon bony lesion in the head and neck region, most commonly affecting the maxilla and mandible. Although it is a benign disease process, it can also be locally destructive. Surgery is the traditional and still the most accepted treatment for giant cell granuloma. The case described here involved the maxilla which was treated with surgical excision, followed by loc...

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), an infrequent disease, is a non-neoplastic bone lesion. Clinically, it may be asymptomatic or show aggressive and painful condition that can cause root resorption, cortical destruction. The aim of this report to emphasize the importance intralesional corticosteroid injection, which less invasive technique in treatment CGCG. 24 years old female patient came o...
