Abstract

Giant-cell central reparative granuloma is non neoplastic proliferative lesion of
unknown etiology. We report a 40 years old male patient who was admitted at the
Maxillofacial Service of the "V. I. Lenin" Hospital. The patient had partial upper
prosthesis and was complaining of red-grey volume increase lesion in upper
alveolar ridge which led to the expansion of cortical bone. Having analyzed clinical,
radiographic and histopathological findings the case was concluded as a giant-cell
central reparative granuloma. Surgical exeresis and adjunct tooth extraction were
done. After three years of treatment, satisfactory follow up without recurrence is
reported.
