AIM AND BACKGROUND An odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) or keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and giant cell granuloma (GCG) in the jaws are common lesions which have been studied extensively in detail over the years. However, a lesion showing features of both is exceptionally rare and is reported only twice in the literature till date. CASE DESCRIPTION A rare case of OKC in mandible showing fo...

BACK GROUND The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of focal reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity as reported in the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology, Subharti Dental College, Meerut and to compare these data with those of previously reported studies from other regions and countries. MATERIAL AND METHOD Patient records of the Department of Oral Pathology ...

A patient initially suspected of having a giant cell granuloma was subsequently found-through additional imaging with (99m)Tc-sestamibi and ultrasound-to have osteolytic brown tumors caused by a parathyroid adenoma. Brown tumors that relate to primary hyperparathyroidism may mimic other skeletal tumors that contain giant cells, presenting difficulty with accurate diagnosis. Correlative imaging ...

One case of recurrent multifocal central giant cell granulomas (CGCG) is presented. Initially, the lesions presented concurrently in the maxilla and mandible with subsequent recurrence in the mandible. Now, two recurrences are seen in the maxillary sinus and ethmoid region. The literature regarding multifocal CGCG is reviewed.

We report a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented with bilateral central giant cell granulomas of the posterior mandible. Characteristic facial features and a history of pulmonary stenosis led us to suspect a diagnosis of Noonan syndrome. A medical geneticist confirmed this. This case report will discuss the salient features of this diagnosis.

Introduction: The diagnosis of primary giant cell-rich lesion of bone is often difficult even for experienced pathologist. The diagnostic histological features are: multinucleated osteoclast-like giant cell and a mononuclear stroma. But sometimes, from the histological picture alone, it is difficult to differentiate between different lesions such as a Giant-cell tumour of bone, Aneurysmal Bone ...

Introduction: Giant cell lesions of the bone comprise a group of jaw bone pathologies. Different pathogeneses such as reactive, vascular or neoplastic have been proposed for these lesions. In addition, differentiating between aggressive and nonaggressive central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws based on histopathologic features is still impossible and due to different treatment protocols...

giant cell carcinoma of the endometrium is a rare and an aggressive tumor that should be distinguished from other endometrial tumors with a prominent giant cell component, including trophoblastic tumors, certain primary sarcomas, and malignant mixed müllerian tumors. at present, cumulative data on this rare histological variant is limited and the prognostic significance of the presence and the ...
