Email this article Central giant cell granuloma: A potential endodontic misdiagnosis
Abstract
Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) formerly called reparative giant cell granuloma is a non-neoplastic lesion of unknown etiology. It occurs most commonly in mandible. This paper reports a case of CGCG arising from anterior maxilla to highlight to the general dental practitioner the importance of histopathology in the diagnosis of this enigmatic lesion.
