Background. Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is regarded as a benign tumour affecting the jaws. The first description of this rare lesion was introduced by Jaffe in 1953. CGCG usually occurs in patients younger than 30 years, is more common in females than in males, and is more common in the mandible than in the maxilla. Electronmicroscopic and immunohistological analyses showed that CGCG is a process that arises from monohistocyte-like cells. CT is excellent for demonstration of bone thinning or destruction.
