Aggressive central giant cell granuloma - A radiographic approach toward diagnosis

Abstract

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a nonneoplastic proliferative lesion commonly occurring in the mandible but can also occur in the maxilla. The CGCG is divided into aggressive and nonaggressive subtypes. The aggressive type is rare and can be larger in size, rapidly growing, and has higher chances of recurrence.
