Peripheral and central giant cell granulomas of the jaws: a retrospective study and surgical management.
This 18-year retrospective multi-center study analyzed data from patients diagnosed and treated for peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) and central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) of the jaws from 1991-2009. Data included age, gender, the jaw involved, the area of the lesion, the type of surgical treatment, and recurrence. Thorough curettage or partial resection was used to treat CGCG (96.39% success rate) and PGCG (98.71% success rate) in this group of patients documented during the follow-up period (1-18 years).
