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.

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.

Purpose. Implant therapy plays an important role in contemporary dentistry with high rates of long-term success. However, in recent years, the incidence of peri-implantitis and implant failures has significantly increased. The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) rarely occurs in peri-implant tissues and it is clinically comparable to the lesions associated with natural teeth. Therefore, the study of possible diseases associated with dental implants plays an important role in order to be able to diagnose and treat these conditions.Materials and Methods. This report described a 60-year-old Caucasian male who presented a reddish-purple pedunculated mass, of about 2 cm in diameter, associated with a dental implant and the adjacent natural tooth.Results. An excisional biopsy was performed and the dental implant was not removed. Histological examination provided the diagnosis of PGCG. After 19-month follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence of peri-implantitis around the implant.Conclusion. The correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment of peri-implant giant cell granuloma are very important for a proper management of the lesion in order to preserve the implant prosthetic rehabilitation and prevent recurrences.

Introduction: Central giant-cell is a benign lesion that predominantly involves the bone of the mandible and maxilla with a wide variation of its behavior. Surgery usually is the first choice in treatment of central giant cell granuloma.Case Report: In this case report we present a 29 years-old female with well define swelling on left maxilla. Diagnosis through incisional biopsy showed a central giant cell granuloma. Surgery with curettage was our treatment option with a follow up( 2 years ), No recurrence was reported.Discussion: Information on the maxillary central giant cell granuloma in published studies is insufficient. So here we present our case as unusual case presentation. Differential diagnosis of this case included osteosarcoma (parosteal type) since the tumor clinical presentation in periosteous tissue adjacent to the bone cortex and showed rapid growth. We chose the conventional surgical treatment by simple surgical curettage by mid-face degloving approach to avoid any facial scaring.
