Summary
Central giant cell granuloma (CGCGA) in a child
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Pediatric Dentistry
- Pathology
Background:
- Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a relatively uncommon bone lesion.
- It typically occurs in the mandible, often presenting as a painless swelling.
Observation:
- A case of central giant cell granuloma in the right posterior mandible of a 10-year-old girl is presented.
- The lesion was surgically removed via curettage.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of central giant cell granuloma.
- Post-operative clinical and radiographic follow-up confirmed complete removal of the lesion.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for successful management of central giant cell granuloma in children.
- This case highlights the importance of considering CGCG in the differential diagnosis of jaw lesions in pediatric patients.
