title: Idiopathic synchronous central giant cell granulomas involving both the maxilla and mandible: a case report.
abstract: The central giant cell granuloma is a well-defined lesion of the jaws and reports of multiple lesions are very uncommon. The authors report the case of a patient with idiopathic synchronous multiple central giant cell granulomas involving both the maxilla and the mandible. Surgical curettage of the lesions was performed. At the end of the 24 months follow-up, no recurrence was detected.
