Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) defines central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) as an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue and contains many foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells, and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone. Clinically and histopathologically CGCG resembles many other jaw lesions hence it has to be differentiated from them for judicious management of the lesion. Here we present a case of CGCG of palate in a 21-year-old female patient.[Jigna SNJIRM 2016; 7(5):101-104]
