title: Giant cell reparative granuloma of the maxilla.
abstract: Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is a rare nonneoplastic proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. It most commonly occurs in the mandible, but also occurs in other bones of the facial skeleton and cranial vault. Two cases of GCRG arising from the maxilla are presented. Histological and radiological features, and the pertinent literature on the subject are reviewed.
