title: [Central reparative giant cell granuloma of the jaw. Morphological study].
abstract: 8 cases of central giant cell reparative granuloma of the jaws were morphologically studied. If the histological feature of this disease is theoretically characteristic (giant cells, fusiform cells, numerous vessels and more or less active osteogenesis) in fact other giant cells lesions, especially true giant cell tumors, often set a problem to the pathologist. In addition, the etiopathogenesis of that granuloma is discussed by means of the results of immunohistochemical, histoenzymological and ultrastructural findings.
