ABSTRACT

Less than 7% of benign tumours in the jaw are classified as Central Giant Cell Granulomas (CGCGs), which are non-odontogenic lesions. This lesion tends to manifest in the anterior mandible and predominantly affects women under 30 years of age. Timely diagnosis and proper histopathological confirmation are crucial for improving the management and prognosis of this locally destructive lesion. Here, we present a case study of a 10-year-old female patient who presented with a painless, gradually progressing swelling in the anterior mandibular labial gingiva. Conservative surgical intervention was employed for treatment and the suspected clinical diagnosis of CGCG was confirmed via radiographic investigations; further backed by histological examination.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign lesion primarily affecting the jaws, characterized by multinucleated giant cells and a fibroblastic stromal component.

• It presents as a slow-growing, painless swelling in the jaw, shows radiolucent features on X-rays, requires surgical intervention for treatment, and has a relatively high recurrence rate.
