Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma of the Mandibular Condyle: A Long-Term Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract

Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) of the mandibular condyle is a rare benign non-neoplastic osteolytic lesion. The authors report the successful surgical management of such a case with a follow-up of nine years and review of the current literature on this subject. To their knowledge, the present article is the first to report the long-term result of condylar reconstruction following GCRG resection. There are no articles in the literature detailing the reconstructive techniques used after resection of large GCRG of the condyle. Accordingly, the present article also reviews the reconstructive options in the management of GCRG of the condyle.
