SURGICAL EXCISION OF CENTRAL GIANT CELL LESION IN THE LEFT MAXILLA

Abstract

The central giant cell lesion is a non-neoplastic pathology that can cause considerable bone destruction. Based on its clinical and radiographic characteristics, it is diagnosed as an aggressive or nonaggressive lesion, which, in turn, is a determining and guiding factor in the type of established treatment. The paper reports the clinical case of a female patient, 20 years old, who sought the OMFS service, presenting with an increase in volume in the right maxilla region with approximately 03 years’ of evolution. The clinical examination showed a well-delimited lesion located between the canine and the right upper premolar, hard to palpation and painless. The image examination showed a mixed lesion involving premolars and upper molars on the right side. A biopsy of the region was performed resulting from central giant cell lesion. The patient was referred for lesion resection, under general anesthesia. The central giant cell lesion is a non-neoplastic pathology that can cause considerable bone destruction.
