title: Treatment with steroids of a giant cell granuloma of the maxilla.
abstract: This case report of giant cell granuloma involving the maxilla is of particular interest for two reasons: the locally aggressive clinical course contrasting with the diagnosis of a benign disease and the spectacular, although transient, response under steroid treatment. Corticotherapy should be further tested in cases of invasive or recurring giant cell granuloma.
