  • Title: Bilateral Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the mandibular angle in three females from the same family.
    Author: Tecco S, Caruso S, Nota A, Leocata P, Cipollone G, Gatto R, Cutilli T.
    Journal: Head Face Med; 2018 Sep 04; 14(1):14. PubMed ID: 30180903.
    Abstract:
    In literature there are few reports about multiple CGCG. But this is the first report of bilateral CGCG of the mandibular angles in three females from the same family.This report describes three cases of females from the same family - a mother and two young daughters - with bilateral CGCG in their jaw angles. All the lesions were surgically removed and the histopathologic diagnosis was always identical: giant cell central granulomas, with patterns that were absolutely superimposable between them and with that of the mother.The hypothesis is that this presentation of CGCG may be defined as hereditary bilateral CGCG of the mandibular angles (or also, cherubism-like lesions).
