“…Our case report describes a rare case of an aggressive CGCG originating in the right mandibular ramus with extension into the condyle in a six year-old child. To our knowledge, only eight other cases of CGCG affecting the mandibular condyle have been presented in literature, and of these, only one occurred in a child [10–17]. Furthermore, only one case required en bloc resection and fibula graft for management [14].…”

Background Central giant cell granulomas are benign tumours of the mandible, presenting in children and young adults. Divided into non- and aggressive subtypes, the aggressive subtype is relatively rare and can occasionally progress rapidly, resulting in significant morbidity. Case presentation We present a case of an aggressive central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) in a six year-old female. The lesion originated in the right mandibular ramus and progressed rapidly to involve the condyle. Diagnosis was made using a combination of imaging and pathology. A timely en bloc resection of the hemi-mandible was performed with placement of a reconstructive titanium plate and condylar prosthesis. Conclusion Our case demonstrates the importance of considering CGCG in the differential diagnosis of rapidly progressive mandibular lesions in the pediatric population. Prompt diagnosis and management can greatly improve long-term outcomes.

“…Chondrosarcomas are the malignant counterpart to the chondromas, and appear as lucent lesions with variable amounts of intralesional calcifications; the more aggressive the tumor, the less calcification 9 . Other tumors of the mandible have been reported, including metastatic lesions, myxomas, multinucleated giant cell tumors, and synovial sarcomas 10–14 …”
