Abstract
ABSTRACT: Giant cell granuloma (GCG) is a non-neoplastic proliferative growth of unknown etiology. It mostly occurs in young adults and common site is mandible. This paper presents an unusual case of 8 years old young boy with GCG in upper jaw. Clinically, radiologically and histopathologically the lesion behaves aggresively. The lesion presented with history of one year and two months of swelling in maxilla with right nasal obstruction. Required investigations including CT scan and incisional biopsy were performed and Weber Ferguson approach was used to remove the tumour in total. The suturing was performed and primary closure was done. After three months of surgery, primary splint was replaced by definitive acrylic obturator and patient's functions and aesthetics were restored. Keywords: Giant cell granuloma, maxilla, swelling, radical surgi cal treatment.
