title: [Giant-cell reparative granuloma (GCRG). A review of the literature, the present state of knowledge and therapeutic suggestions].
abstract: In the cranio-facial region the giant-cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is a typical lesion of the maxillary bones. Because giant-cell reparative granuloma is not strictly a granuloma, clinically and histologically, many authors prefer call it giant-cell lesion (GCL). A review of the literature have along with our experiences is reported. Authors present 17 patients with giant-cell lesion and their results, treated at the Maxillo-Facial Department of Parma. Clinical, radiographic and pathologic features were evaluated and differential diagnosis was considered, showing the real great difficulty in differential diagnosis also and especially for surgical treatment.
