Central giant cell Granuloma is a intraosseous benign lesion. It occurs mostly in first three decades of life and commonly occurs in females. The lesions grew slowly and usually presented clinically as painless swellings. Radiographically they appeared as well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies with undulating borders. This case is a rare occurrence of Central Giant Cell Granulom...

BACKGROUND Giant cell reparative granulomas (GCRGs) are rare lesions in the cranial bones. We present a case of this rare lesion emanating from the clivus and replacing the sphenoid sinus, a highly unusual location for this entity. CASE DESCRIPTION The case and clinical course of a 29-year-old female who presented with a large sphenoid mass are described here. The patient presented with sympt...

Peripheral giant cell granulomas are common proliferative lesions of the oral cavity with a predilection for females. In this study, the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in 26 peripheral giant cell granuloma cases were studied utilizing the immunoperoxidase technique. In fourteen cases, estrogen receptor positivity was found in stromal cells. In ten of these, osteoclast-type gian...

AEGCG: annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma INTRODUCTION Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is an uncommon condition belonging to the family of elastolytic granuloma, which also includes actinic granuloma, atypical necrobiosis lipoidica of the face and scalp, and Miescher’s granuloma. Classification of AEGCG as a distinct entity has been controversial. Although some consider i...

INTRODUCTION Oral peripheral and central giant cell granulomas are lesions with little-known etiology and pathogenesis. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare matrix metalloproteinases-2 and osteopontin protein expression in the multinucleated giant cells and mononuclear cells of the peripheral and central giant cell granuloma lesions. METHODS In this retrospective study, the presen...
