Central Giant Cell Granuloma in Pediatric Patient

Abstract

Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is an osteolytic and expansile lesion of the mandible. This lesion affects a younger type of patients which generally require surgical treatment and hospitalization affecting vital structures and causing grow defects. We present a case in a 7-year-old patient using intralesional injections of triamcinolone acetonide. After such a treatment we observed new bone formation and reduction in the size of the lesion which derived in a great outcome in such a young patient. This treatment bypassed any required hospitalization or aggressive surgery reducing postoperative morbidity. This paper report successful treatment of intralesional administration of triamcinolone acetonide in a 7-year-old patient.
