摘要

Central giant cell granuloma(CGCG)is found exclusively in jaws.Its etiopathogenesis is unclear;however it is suggested that it can arise as a reactive response to trauma.This report describes an aggressive variety of CGCG which raises a question;can extraction of tooth modify the behavior of CGCG?A 46 years old male had reported with a rapidly increasing intraoral and extraoral swelling of lower jaw following tooth extraction.Radiographic examination revealed a large multilocular lesion involving the body and ramus of mandible which had been proved to be aggressive CGCG on histopathological examination.The importance of radiographic examination prior to extraction of teeth and importance of inclusion of CGCG in jaw swellings associated with mobility of teeth or failure of healing sockets is emphasized.
