Central Giant Cell Granuloma: Negotiating the Diagnostic and Management Dilemmas

Introduction Giant cell lesions of orofacial region although rare in presentation, have diagnostic and treatment challenges due to overlapping clinical, radiological, and histopathological signs. Background We happened to come across a case, which presented to us with an aggressive jaw lesion of nonodontogenic origin, mimicking a malignancy and putting us in a conundrum with regard to work up and treatment. The sequential work up not only helped us reach a definitive diagnosis but also led us the draw algorithms for diagnosis of Giant cell lesions and management of Central giant cell granuloma. Conclusion Meticulous planning along with molecular studies helps in better delineating one giant cell lesion from other.
