Evaluation of a Central Giant Cell Granuloma and a Sialolithiasis with Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Ultrasonography: A Case Report

Abstract

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign intraosseous tumor that can cause rapid enlargement, expansion and/or perforation of cortical bone and has no significant etiology. Its differential diagnosis depends on both histological and systemic examination combined with the radiologic findings.In this case report, a CGCG case located in the anterior maxilla revealing a fibromatous and erythematous painless swelling of a 72 -year old female patient with a sialolithiasis as an incidental finding was aimed to be presented by orthopantomagram (OPG), periapical, Cone Beam CT (CBCT) and ultrasonographic (USG) findings.
