Abstract

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) was classified as rarely aggressive idiopathic benign intraosseous lesion that occurs mostly exclusively in the jaws. It occurs most frequently in young women. It is usually slow growing and non neoplastic lesion which exhibits a spectrum of clinical behavior ranging from non aggressive to aggressive variants. The striking feature of this case is its aggressive nature and presence of this lesion in the anterior part of maxilla which considers being a rare finding as the lesion commonly occurs in the mandibular region anterior to first molar.
