COMBINED TREATMENT OF A LARGE AGGRESSIVE CENTRAL GIANT CELL GRANULOMA
Abstract
Central giant cell tumours are rare, accounting for less than 7% of all jaw
tumours. These tumours are usually observed in women, occur most often in the
mandible, and are more common in the second decade of life. Treatment consists
of local removal, partial resection, or total resection. In this case, a
32-year-old female patient presented in our clinic with pain in the anterior
mandible. No cervical lymphadenopathy was detected upon physical examination. No
ulceration was observed during the intraoral examination, but sensitivity was found
in the vestibular area. However, no sensation loss in any teeth or in the lips
was detected. This case report presents a 32-year-old female patient with
central giant cell tumour causing extensive bone loss in the mandible base that
was treated with partial resection.
