[Giant cell in maxillary pseudotumors].
A research on lesions apparently tumorous that appear on jawbones and are not exactly tumors is developed. These lesions are clinically silent, although they produce deformity and, perhaps because of that, an early diagnosis with biopsy or other procedures is needed. The image research can be very characteristic or otherwise, it can be very complex, non specific and not provide everything expected to make the diagnosis. The difference between radiolucent and radiopaque images that produce the querubism-fibrous displasia, prove both extremes in which the diagnosis judgment made by image can or cannot be significant. We have to highlight the presence of giant cells with an osteoclastic nature in most of these pseudo tumorous lesions.
