  • Title: Central giant cell granuloma.
    Author: Heithersay GS, Cohn SA, Parkins DJ.
    Journal: Aust Endod J; 2002 Apr; 28(1):18-23. PubMed ID: 12360677.
    Abstract:
    Central giant cell granuloma, a fibro-osseous lesion, is more commonly found in the mandible and mainly in children and young adults. The lesion, which has a greater incidence in females, may be uni or multilocular. On the basis of clinical, radiological and histologic features, central giant cell granulomas can be classified as "non-aggressive" or "aggressive". Management involves surgical removal and in most cases the dentition can be maintained. Three cases of central giant cell granuloma are reported and they illustrate clinical features of the lesion, how differential diagnosis can be assisted by ORAD (a special software program), treatment, and the importance of recall examinations.
