Indian Journal of Dental Research. 2008 Jan-Mar; 19(1): 78-82http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/51881Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma is a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It occurs most commonly in the mandible. The case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examination but was histopathologically diagnosed as CGCG. We describe a case of central giant cell granuloma arising from the anterior maxilla to highlight to the general dental practitioner the importance of histopathology in the diagnosis of this enigmatic lesion.engAdultDiagnosis, DifferentialGranuloma, Giant Cell --pathologyHumansMaleMaxillary Diseases --pathologyCentral giant cell granuloma of the anterior maxilla.Case Reports
