“…Radiological findings vary from small unilocular lesion to large multilocular lesion with well or ill defined borders. It may also be associated with cortical bone perforation and root resorption [6,7]. In the present case in point CT scan showed heterogeneously enhancing lesion with central necrosis and erosion of the right coronoid process of mandible.…”

There are various reports of giant cell tumour of long bones but the documented evidence of occurrence of giant cell tumour of mandible is very rare. Because of extreme rarity of occurrence we report one such case. The patient was a 45 year male presented with hard swelling in region of parotid. In CT scan was suggestive of a heterogeneously enhancing lesion lying deep to right parotid gland. It showed central necrosis and erosion of the right coronoid process of mandible. FNAC report was that of giant cell tumour. Tumour was surgically excised preserving the facial nerve and curetting of coronoid process of mandible. He is on follow up till date with no facial palsy and no sign of recurrence.

“…Early lesions are small and unilocular and may be located at or near apices of vital teeth. In larger lesions, septations are often present and the cortical bone may be "egg shell" and often perforated by the lesion [1,4].…”

Radiographic features of central giant cell granuloma of the jaws in children

The radiographic features of ten pediatric cases of central giant cell granuloma of the jaws were studied, using plain film radiography (PFR), computed tomography (CT), and a dental CT software program (DS). The radiologic features varied from ill-defined destructive lesions to a well-defined, multilocular appearance. Teeth or root displacement was found as the most consistent feature. Root resorption was rare. The features seen on CT were clearer than those seen on PFR. DS, by its visualization of the jaw in three plans - axial, panoramic, and buccolingual - provided useful information for determining the topography of the lesion in its structure (uni- or multilocular) and proximity to adjacent anatomic structures, such as teeth, nerves, or maxillary sinus. CT and, ideally, CT with DS should be used for diagnosis and surgical management of central giant cell granuloma of the jaws in children.

“…[16][17][18][19] In our study, multilocularity was observed in three out of 10 cases and these were relatively larger lesions (> 1.5 cm) while others varied from 0.5 to 1.5 cm in diameter. Duration of symptoms in three cases having larger lesions ranged from 4 to 6 months.…”
