[Giant cell granulomas of the jaws].
The giant cell granulomas of jaws is one of the most interesting subjects of the oral surgery not only of their elective development in the jaws but also of their atypical clinical and radiographic pictures. The elements that raised doubts and discussions about the giant cell granulomas of jaws are: a) the numerous theories about their histogenesis and b) the suggestions of some authors that they are tumours quite similar to the giant cell tumours because of their neoplastic behaviour. In the treatment of 34 selected cases of giant cell granulomas of jaws in patients aged 1-70 years old we discussed our experience concerning the clinical behaviour and the x-rays picture. The treatment must be prudent conservative as well as prudent radical.
