Surgery is currently the most common proposed treatment for central giant cell lesion in the literature, surgical treatment methods range from simple curettage to aggressive en-bloc resection which can lead to significant facial disfiguration. In this case report a conservative approach was proposed which includes use of intralesional injections of triamcinolone along with oral calcium carbonate.
