Abstract
Introduction: An aggressive variant of central giant cell granuloma in a paediatric patient is a localized benign osteolytic prolif- eration. The lesion consist of fibrous tissue with haemorrhage, hemosiderin deposits and presence of osteoclast-like giant cells with reactive bone formation. Clinically shown with rapid growth, resorption of roots, displacement of teeth and thinning or perforation of cortical bone, and marked recurrence. Case presentation: A 9-year-old boy reported with a 3 days history of asymptomatic soft tissue swelling in left mandibular pos- terior region which was diagnosed as central giant cell granuloma based on clinical, radiological and histopathological features. Management and Prognosis: Surgical resection was performed without any signs of recurrence on 9 months follow up. Conclusion: Prompt diagnosis and treatment of Central giant cell granuloma can significantly improve morbidity and long- term outcomes.
