ABSTRACT

Background: central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a lesion that occupies 7 % of benign tumors found exclusively in the jaws. It occurs more frequently in women than in men and predominates in the second and third decades of life. Radiographic features of CGCG are changeable, and may be confused with other jaws' lesions. The CGCG may have aggressive behavior which allows setting the treatment of choice, including enucleation, curettage and resection of the lesion. Clinical case: ten cases of patients diagnosed with CGCG were presented. The 80 % of the cases were located in the jaw with the following clinical features: facial asymmetry, dental displacement, root resorption, altered occlusion and nerve disorder. Conclusions: in four patients resection in block was performed with reconstruction plate, while in six other patients enucleation and curettage was carried out. In the 100 % of the cases an intraoral approach was made without severe complications. There was clinical and radiographic evidence of recidivation in one of the patients, a resection with reconstruction plate was made.
