Abstract

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign lesion; CGCG occurs mainly in children and young adults with more than 60% of all cases occurring before the age of 30 years and female to male ratio of 2:1. The mandibular/maxillary ratio is from 2:1 to 3:1. Surgery is the traditional treatment of CGCG. Calcitonin and intralesional steroid were used with good results. In this case report, a 14 years old Saudi girl presented with a hard swelling of left side of the mandible with few months duration. Investigations including blood tests, radiographs and biopsy were done which confirmed the diagnosed of CGCG. Lesion has been treated using six weekly intralesional injections of steroid which gave very good result. Patient has been followed up for one year with radiographic evidence of defect refill with bone and no sign of recurrence.
