Popis: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign proliferation of fibroblasts and multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs within the jaw. It commonly occurs in the young adults showing a female predilection. It was thought that CGCG is a reparative lesion as it developed in response to intrabony hemorrhage and inflammation secondary to trauma. However, it can be considered as a destructive lesion because of its aggressive behavior and predilection for recurrence as seen in the present case.
