Giant Cell Tumor of the Jaws Associated With Paget Disease of Bone: Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature

Benign Fibro-Osseous Lesions of the Craniofacial Complex A Review

“…Giant cell tumors are histologically identical with giant cell granulomas of the jaws and giant cell tumor of long bones [69,70]. In the craniofacial complex they appear as multilocular radiolucencies on plane films or as multicompartmentalized lesions on CT images.…”

Giant cell tumour of the temporal bone presenting as vertigo

“…Giant cell tumours generally occur in patients aged 20 to 55 years and are most common in the third decade of life. Most cases arise de novo although occasional giant cell tumours have complicated Paget's disease of bone (Millar et al, 1974). Giant cell tumours usually involve the epiphyseal region of long bones, the sites most commonly affected in order of frequency being the lower end of the femur, the upper end of the tibia and the lower end of the radius.…”
