Central Giant Cell Granuloma With Aneurysmal Bone Cyst In A 28-year Male Patient: A Rare Concurrence

Abstract

Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is a benign tumor of jaw. As compared to males, females are more commonly affected. Mandible is the common site of occurrence. Aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs) are cystic lesions which are expansile osteolytic blood-filled lesions. These are commonly seen in the mandible, and they also show gender-predilection towards females. Concurrence of both the lesions is rarely reported. The treatment of both CGCG and ABC depends upon the extent of the lesions as well as on their nature. Due to aggressive nature of the lesions, these usually cause disfigurement of the patients' face. Wide excision is the treatment modality for aggressive lesions to avoid recurrence. We present a case of 28-year male who showed CGCG along with ABC in the same lesion, a rare concurrence.

Intraosseous clear cell mucoepidermoid carcinoma in the maxilla: A case report and review of literature

“…The possible origins of intraosseous salivary gland tumor are a neoplastic transformation of developmentally entrapped salivary glands or epithelia including an apical periodontal cyst, dentigerous cyst, mucosa of the maxillary sinus, and pluripotent reserve cells of excretory duct 7,14,25,26 . The patient in the current report had a history of root canal treatment in the maxillary second molar and did not show any obvious continuity between the tumor and the maxillary sinus.…”

“…MECs in the maxilla and cMEC in the oral and maxillofacial region sinus, and pluripotent reserve cells of excretory duct. 7,14,25,26 The patient in the current report had a history of root canal treatment in the maxillary second molar and did not show any obvious continuity between the tumor and the maxillary sinus. Thus, the tumor may have originated from an apical periodontal cyst or entrapped minor salivary glands.…”

Posterior mandibular glandular cyst: A rare case report

“…Since this lesion involves most of the body of the mandible, the case has been followed up for 6 months so far and there is no indication of recurrence. However, the patient should be kept under follow-up for at least 3 years [17] .…”

Aggressive Multiple Central Giant Cell Granulomas of the Jaws

“…Depending on the lesion behavior based on histological and radiographic features, different treatments from medical to surgery are considered [ 32 ]. The size, location, and manner of the lesion led to a variety of surgical procedures including local excision, curettage, resections, and even peripheral ostectomy to minimize the chances of recurrence [ 8 , 16 , 19 , 33 ].…”
