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 ...

central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.multifocal cgcgs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.very few c...

Sebertia acuminata (Sapotaceae) from New Caledonia has been shown to be a hyperaccumulator of nickel.

The nickel is in the form of a low-molecular-weight, water-soluble organic complex.
