Abstract

The central giant cell granuloma is an intraosseous, osteolytic and benign lesion of non-odontogenic origin, with no reports published so far that can become a malignant pathology. We presented a 69-years-old male who presented intraoral volume increase on the left side, evolution time was not quantified, non-painful, prevented the placement of his dental prosthesis. Image studies and stereolithographic models were performed and demonstrate the presence of a wide lithic zone located below the piriform aperture. Cystic mass enucleation, aggressive curettage of bony walls and cleaning of surgical field with chemical solution was done. Our objective is to provide necessary guidelines for central giant cell granuloma diagnosis in order to carry out an adequate treatment without risk of recurrence.
