Background: Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) formerly called giant cell reparative granuloma is a nonneoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It occurs most commonly in the mandible. The case reported here resembled a wide variety of conditions that led to a misdiagnosis both on clinical and radiographic examination but was histopathologically diagnosed as CGCG. We describe a case of central giant cell granuloma arising from the anterior maxilla in a 2 year old boy to highlight the importance of histopathology, radiology and management of this lesion.
Keywords: Central giant cell granuloma, multinucleated giant cells, hyperparathyroidism.
