Correction to: Central Giant Cell Granuloma Treated with Intralesional Corticosteroid Injections and Bisphosphonates: A Long‑Term Follow‑Up Case Study

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an expansile osteolytic lesion of the jawbone. Conventional treatment of CGCG is surgical and vary from simple curettage to more aggressive resection of the jaw. However, surgical management is associated with drawbacks including requirement of hospitalisation and general anaesthesia, damage to vital anatomic structures and continuity defect of the mandible requiring reconstruction surgery. Use of intralesional injections of corticosteroid for the management of CGCG have been inconsistently used as an alternative non-surgical method of management of CGCG with varying success. While the use of such conservative modality over ablative surgery can significantly reduce postoperative morbidity, follow-up of such cases for a long period is important to study the possible recurrence. This paper reports successful treatment of a recurrent CGCG of posterior mandible by intralesional administration of triamcinolone acetonide in a 27-year old female patient, with long-term follow-up of 10 years.

Surgical Aspects

Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is an intrabony lesion showing cellular fibrosis with numerous foci of haemorrhage, woven bone trabeculae and multinucleated giant cells. It is more commonly found in the mandible than maxilla. Among all benign tumours of jaw, it accounts for less than 7%. According to the reports, in approximately 48% cases, it is diagnosed in the first two decades of life and in almost 60% cases, before 30 years of age. This paper presents a case of CGCG involving the mandibular left anterior region of a female patient with clinical, radiological, histopathological and surgical aspects of the lesion.

Central giant cell granulomas (CGCG) are benign intraosseous proliferative lesions. Usually located are at the anterior region of the maxilla or mandible, although are more frequently found in the mandible. Etiopathogenesis of these lesions has remained unknown, however, some consider them as reparative response rather than neoplastic condition. Clinically CGCG present as asymptomatic, with expansive swelling causing deviation or proliferation of cortical bone. This condition is usually unifocal. Surgical removal is often the preferred treatment. Although nonsurgical treatment methods, such as intralesional corticosteroid injections, systemic calcitonin and interferon have been reported. This article describes the radiographic features of a large CGCG in the anterior mandibular region seen in a 9 year-old patient. Treatment of this lesion included resection of the anterior region of the mandible and replacement by tibia with bone growth factors.
