central giant cell granuloma

Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.

central giant cell granuloma

An osteodestructive lesion of uncertain pathogenesis, which most commonly occurs in the young female mandible, and is more lytic than peripheral giant cell granuloma.

Imaging
Radiolucent destructive lesion with faint trabeculation and loculation.

DiffDx
Giant cell bone tumour, PTH-induced “brown” tumour (hyperparathyroidism).

Management
Curettage.

The unusual features of this case include the fact that the maxillary tumor was initially diagnosed as a benign central giant cell granuloma. This tumor is pathologically indistinguishable from a giant cell tumor of the bone or a brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism.

Maxillary giant cell granuloma, pheochromocytoma, and hyperparathyroidism without medullary thyroid carcinoma

Central giant cell granulomas (arising from within the bonel are generally associated with hyperparathyroidism, whereas peripheral giant cell granulomas arising from or near the surface of the bone apparently are not associated with hyperparathyroidism (7); however it is advisable to test for hyperparathyroidism in the latter condition, if multiple lesions occur.
