Abstract :Giant cell granulomas in the jaws are divided into two according to their location in the bone or soft tissue. Those that develop on the soft tissue basis are called peripheral type giant cell granulomas, while lesions that develop in the bone are called central type giant cell granulomas. Central giant cell granulomas are seen in both jaws, but are more common in the mandible. Although it is seen in both sexes, it is more common in women. Although etiology of central giant cell granuloma is not known exactly, it may be of neoplastic, traumatic and hormonal origin. Treatment options are surgical curettage and excision or medical treatments. In this case report, a case of aggressive central giant cell granuloma in the maxillary posterior region is discussed. The patient applied to our clinic with the complaint of swelling in the lesion area, and the mass was removed with general anesthesia.
