Central giant cell granuloma: report of a case

Periapical central giant cell granuloma misdiagnosed as odontogenic cyst

“…Other single case reports have also described root canal treatment of teeth for periradicular lesions subsequently histologically diagnosed as CGCG. In one case (Sykaras 1981), a caries‐free mandibular incisor, which was painful to percussion and with a nonvital pulp as indicated by electronic pulp testing, was root filled. Because the lesion did not heal after 6 months and the patient continued to experience pain, periapical curettage was carried out and a diagnosis of CGCG made.…”

Osteosarcoma of the anterior maxilla mimicking a periapical pathology: A case report

“…A previous study has reported that among 48 cases diagnosed with non-endodontic apical periodontitis lesions with pulp vitality test results available, 27 (56.5%) had positive response while 21 (43.5%) had a negative one (35). Other studies reporting central giant cell granuloma (36) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (34) also found nearby teeth to be unresponsive to cold testing. Considering that non-endodontic pathology has been found in teeth with periapical lesions exhibiting negative cold responses, all cases should be periodically monitored.…”

Central giant cell granuloma associated with a non‐vital tooth: a case report

“…Various case reports have been cited in the literature that describe the relatively uncommon central giant cell granuloma ofthe jaw, a lesion of non-odontogenic origin (Bhaskar 1966, Waldron & Shafer 1966, Weichman 1969, Sykaras 1981, Granite et al 1982, Martin 1982, Singh 1982, Margarone et al 1983, Rees et al 1983, Thompson et al 1983, Milam et al 1985. This pathological entity can easily be confused with other radiolucent lesions found in the oral cavity because of its varied clinical course and radiographic appearance (Shafer et al 1983, Milam et al 1985).…”
