Abstract
Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG), a non odontogenic lesion of the oral cavity the involving jaws, is relatively uncommonly seen. It accounts about 1–7% of all benign lesions of the jaw. It is bony lesion of the head and neck region which is never seen in any other bone of the skeleton. It is usually seen in young adults between second to third decades of their life. CGCG has been classified, as central (bone) and peripheral (gingival tissues) according to type of tissue involved.
Keywords: central giant cell granuloma, non-odontogenic lesion, bony lesion of jaw
