Recurrent giant cell granuloma occurring in the mandible of a patient on high dose estrogen therapy for the treatment of Sotos' syndrome

Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the Jaws: A Short Series and Review of Literature

“…A few workers have assigned female preponderance of CGCG to increased levels of estrogen in these patients. 11,12 The mandible or lower jaw is the preferred site for CGCG, with alveolar processes of the premolar and molar regions being the most common location. 13 Of our 10 cases, six were located in the edentulous alveolar margins of the premolar region, and two each in palatal region and in attached gums between upper incisors with palatal extension.…”

Non-Aggressive Central Giant Cell Granuloma in Mandible –A Case Report

“…(1997), Littler BO (1980) explained that occurrence of CGCG is predominant in females due to increased levels of hormonal secretion (estrogen). [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The site of occurrence for CGCG most commonly in the anterior region with predilection to mandible (66%) compared to maxilla (34%) How ever Kaffe. et.al in their study stated that no site predilection for the anterior region (deciduous tooth bearing area) 13 .The present case exhibited above features but extending posteriroly till 36 region.…”

Esthetic Management of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma

“…It is thought to arise from the gingival connective tissue or the periosteum of the alveolar ridge in response to injury. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Clinically, PGCG is seen exclusively in gingiva, especially in the area between the first permanent molars and incisors. The proliferation of giant cells associated with resorption of deciduous teeth has been implicated in the development of giant cell lesions, 1 but this theory has not received much attention because those lesions also may develop in edentulous areas.…”
