INTRODUCTON: Many lesions of the jaws contain giant cells, they include Peripheral giant cell granuloma, Central giant cell granuloma, aneurismal bone cyst, brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism and early stage of cherubism. Giant cell granuloma which is a benign bone lesion that occurs mainly in the jaws are not tumor but tumor like conditions, the cause of tumor like condition is chronic truma w...

background and aims. the correlation between morphology of giant cells in peripheral granulomas of the jaws and the aggressive behavior of the lesion is unknown. this study investigated the correlation between the histopathologic features with demographic, gross and radiographic findings in giant cell granulomas. materials and methods. in this analytical study, data from 23 cases of central gia...

central giant cell granuloma (cgcg), formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma, is a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. it occurs most commonly in the mandible. the case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examinations but was histopathologically diagnosed as cgcg. we describe a case of cgc...

some lesions in the oral cavity and mostly on gingiva have predominant predilection towards females, and mostly occur in the first four decades of life when changes in sex hormone levels in blood are obvious. the present study aimed to investigate the presence and distribution of estrogen and progesterone receptors in peripheral giant cell granuloma (pgcg), pyogenic granuloma (pg) and periphera...

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a common reactive gingival lesion that histologically resembles the central giant cell granuloma, and is a central lesion of the jaws. Occasionally, central giant cell granuloma-like lesions may be seen in association with hyperparathyroidism. Rarely, PGCG-like lesions have been described in a background of hyperparathyroidism. We describe the case of a...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Giant cell lesions as a group of the oral and maxillofacial lesions are common and potentially destructive. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of oral lesions containing giant cells in a 22-year period in Isfahan Dental School, Iran.METHODS: In this epidemiological, cross-sectional, retrospective study the archive information in the Department of Oral Patholog...

objective: the purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the demographic characteristics of patients with central giant cell granulomas (cgcgs) and peripheral giant cell granulomas (pgcgs) in an iranian population. methods: in this 38-year retrospective study, the data were obtained from records of 1019 patients with cgcg and pgcg of the jaws referred to the department of oral and ma...

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...
