Abstract
The Giant central cell granuloma (GCCG) is a benign intra-osseous lesion of the neo-plastic type. It appears mainly in the mandible, but can be observed in the maxilla and small bones of the hand and foot, with a predilection for the female sex and prevalence at a young age. Its diagnosis is clinical and radiological, confirmed by histological examination. The differential diagnosis is biological because it has a wide range of morphologies and a misinterpretation with other giant cell lesions can often occur. The authors present a case of the Giant central cell granuloma in a 62-year-old woman developing for 3 years after dental extractions. The most favorable treatment for giant cell granulomas is surgical whose main objective is to prevent recurrences.
