title: [Symptomatic and surgical results after integrated CT-MR study of a central giant cell tumor of the maxilla].
abstract: The AA. examine the possibilities of the present imaging to the diagnostic definition of the extensive and destructive forms of the Central Giant cells Tumor of the maxilla. The CT and MR studies are compared with conventional x-Ray. The analysis performed evinces, besides the well-known semeiological CT superiority for the evidence of the osseous erosions, the ability to follow by MR imaging the evolution of the tumor, in the its relationships with the fascial, muscular, adipose and fibromucous soft tissues, when it exceeds the osseous barrier of the maxillofacial skeleton, enclosed therein the palatal plane.
