Multidisciplinary management of a central giant cell lesion: a case report

Abstract

This case report describes the diagnosis and management of a central giant cell lesion in a young, healthy patient. The article outlines the differences between central giant cell lesions and their counterparts, peripheral giant cell lesions. More crucially, it highlights the challenge in distinguishing these lesions, which are almost identical histopathologically. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This case describes the difficulties that can be faced by clinicians in differentiating between peripheral giant cell lesions and central giant cell lesion. It also highlights the need for specialist multidisciplinary input in managing the surgical and orthodontic implications of these lesions.
