Abstract

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an uncommon, benign, intraosseous, proliferative lesion of the jaw with an unknown etiology. The incidence in the general population is very low with age predilection generally younger than 30 years with a female predominance. It is usually unifocal and located at the anterior region of the mandible or maxilla, although are more frequently found in the mandible. CGCG is divided into rare aggressive variant and a common non aggressive variant based on clinicoradiographic features. Surgical removal is often the preferred treatment and is characterized by high recurrence rate. The present case is a rare aggressive variant of CGCG seen in posterior mandible in an 8-year-old girl.

Keywords: Central giant cell granuloma, Aggressive variant.
