A conservative surgical approach towards central giant cell granuloma : a case report

الملخص EN

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is an infrequent benign bony lesion of unpredictably aggressive behavior.

The precise lesion character is debatable and remains inconclusive.

However, three main theories were proposed: a sensitive lesion, a kind of neoplasm, or a developmental anomaly.

This is a case presentation of a 16-year-old boy with a dental history of extraction of the lower right first molar, presented to hospital with two months history of swelling in the aforementioned area after the procedure.

First biopsy of the swelling was performed outside the Kingdom of Bahrain.

As per histopathological findings, the swelling was described as pyogenic granuloma.

Second biopsy with necessary workup was conducted in the Kingdom of Bahrain and was confirmed as central giant cell granuloma through histopathological analysis; it was removed surgically.
