Aggressive giant cells reparative granulomas in mandibular region
Keywords:
Giant cells reparative granulomas, giant cells bone lesionAbstract
The giant cells reparative granulomas (GCRG) is a reactive and aggressive processappearing more frequently in anterior sector of mandible and maxilla in children
and young adolescents accounting for the 1 % of tumor bone lesions. There is a
considerable controversy if they are benign or reactive lesions from the point of
view of its origin, from its clinical and histological features as well as therapeutical.
This is the case of a patient seen in external consultation of Maxillofacial Surgery of
the "Juán Manuel Márquez" Children and University Hospital at October, 2007 in
whom an extent lesion diagnosed as an aggressive GCRG provoked a facial
deformity and osteolysis of mandibular body. Complementary, physical and
iconopathographic examinations were made as well as surgical treatment and
analysis of this sample. Patient has neither aesthetic alterations nor functional.
There was no relapse after 30 months of follow-up. We made a review of more
update literature in Med Line, Lilac and Google websites with the giant cells
reparative granulomas as key words in English and Spanish languages, to compare
our procedures and results with other reports.
