SILVA, Carlos Eduardo Xavier dos Santos Ribeiro da et al. Case report: central giant cell granuloma. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2012, vol.66, n.4, pp.298-301. ISSN 0004-5276.

The Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is a typical lesion of the gnathic bones, being a benign non odontogenic tumor. It is a lesion of predominantly slow growth, well circumscribed and asymptomatic, usually diagnosed through a routine examination or in more advanced cases when the patient feels some kind of discomfort and when the patient's aesthetics are affected. This paper presents a clinical case of central giant cell granuloma on a 36 year old patient with the lesion on the right lower premolars region. After radiography, tomography, blood tests and incisional biopsy, the curettage of the lesion was performed under general anaesthesia with no signs of the tumor after 2 years of follow-up.
