Giant-cell tumour-like changes in the maxilla.
The authors have analysed 194 cases of giant-cell tumourlike changes of the jaws observed in the hospital over a period of 25 years. On the basis of histological examination and clinical as well as radiological assessment of these cases, diagnostic criteria of this granuloma have been proposed. Neoplastic giant-cell tumours are excessively rare in the jaws. The method of choice in treatment of reparative granulomas is moderately radical operation with removal of the lesion to the margins of healthy tissue or electrosurgical treatment. After non-radical operation reparative granulomas show a tendency to local recurrence.
