Abstract
Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), an infrequent disease, is a non-neoplastic bone lesion. Clinically, it may be asymptomatic or it may show an aggressive and painful condition that can cause root resorption, cortical bone destruction. The aim of this report is to emphasize the importance of intralesional corticosteroid injection, which is a less invasive technique in the treatment of CGCG. 24 years old female patient came to our clinic with pain and swelling in the left side of the mandible. In intraoral examination, a red-purple swelling, which was found to have been present for 6 months, was detected in this region. Radiographic examination showed a multilocular radiolucent lesion and root resorption. Biopsy was done under local anesthesia. After the histopathological examination, the diagnosis of CGCG was done. Intralesional corticosteroid injection was applied. During routine follow-up, the lesion was observed to decrease and disappear.
