Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign non-neoplastic intraosseous lesion mainly found in the anterior mandible. It is characterized by multinucleated giant cells, representing osteoclasts or macrophages. Central odontogenic fibroma (COF) is an uncommon benign lesion of the jaws. It originates from the odontogenic ectomesenchyme. In rare cases, COF may accompany a CGCG. To date, 49 cases of COF accompanied by CGCG-like lesions have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we present another case of COF-CGCG in a 46-year-old female. The lesion was located in the posterior mandible. Excisional biopsy was carried out, and histopathological analysis revealed multinucleated giant cells with numerous strands of odontogenic epithelium. A literature review of previously reported cases was also performed.

Central giant cell granuloma is a reparative bony lesion characterised by abundant multinucleated giant cells within a sea of spindle shaped mesenchymal stromal cells. Giant cells are scattered throughout the fibrovascular connective tissue stroma containing hemorrhage. Its coexistence with parathyroid adenoma is very rare. Brown tumour is a close differential in this scenario. Herein we present the case of a central giant cell granuloma of maxilla and parathyroid adenoma diagnosed almost during the same time in a 58 years old male.

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is classified by the World Health Organization as a benign bone lesion. It is found anteriorly in the mandible, with most of the cases crossing the midline. In total, 70% of CGCGs are encountered in young females. Fibro-osseous lesions are a group of pathologies that encompass neoplastic, dysplastic and reactive entities. Juvenile ossifying fibroma, which can be further categorized into juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF) and juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma, represents an aggressive neoplastic example of these fibro-osseous lesions. JTOF occurs in children at almost equal ratios in both sexes, affecting the maxilla more than mandible. This study aims to report a peculiar case of a hybrid lesion comprising CGCG and JTOF in the mandible of a nine-year-old female patient. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological findings were assessed. Clinical examination revealed an intraoral swelling extending from the right impacted third molar area to the left first molar area. Computed tomography showed a well-defined multilocular radiolucency with diffuse flecks of radioopacities. Histopathologically, the lesion comprised fibrous connective tissue encompassing numerous multinucleated giant cells and other areas of cell-rich connective tissue stroma containing bands of osteoid matrix and anastomosing immature bone trabeculae intermixed with scattered clusters of multinucleated giant cells. We hereby report a case of a rare hybrid lesion comprising CGCG and JTOF.
