Central giant cell granuloma

Central giant cell granuloma also called as giant cell reparative granuloma or giant cell tumor. It is thought to be a reactive lesion to an as yet unknown stimulus and not a neoplastic lesion. However, radiographically the characteristics of the lesion are similar to those of a benign tumor occasionally maxillary lesions may have some malignant type characteristics. The histological appearance consists primarily of fibroblasts, numerous vascular channels, multinucleated giant cells, and macrophages. The relationship of the benign giant cell tumor to the giant cell granuloma is controversial and unclear
