ABSTRACT

The central giant cell lesion (CGCL) is a rare benign intraosseous lesion of the jawbone that can prove to be aggressive. While its etiology is open to question, it is more frequent in young women and the molar and premolar region of the mandible. Surgical or combined treatment is preferred. We describe the case of a 19-year-old patient that sought treatment for swelling in the mid- and lower-third of her face that had developed over a period of three months, accompanied by pain and tooth mobility. Clinical and imaging studies were performed along with an incisional biopsy for histopathological assessment, which resulted in confirmation of the diagnosis of CGCL. Laboratory tests revealed normal levels of calcium, alkaline phosphatase, and parathormone, so ruling out the possibility of a brown tumor of hyperparathyroidism. Surgical treatment was performed, consisting of curettage and peripheral ostectomy under general balanced anesthesia, and the extraction of the teeth concerned.
