title: Nonaggressive central giant cell granuloma mimicking chronic inflammatory enlargement: a case report.
abstract: This article presents a case of giant cell granuloma in a 24-year-old man. Clinical, histopathological, and radiographic findings are discussed and a differential diagnosis and treatment plan are suggested. Clinical behavior among lesions may vary between nonaggressive and aggressive forms, and even radiographic appearances are not identical. The present case resembled a variety of conditions clinically but was diagnosed histopathologically as giant cell granuloma. This case is presented to emphasize the importance of histopathologic examination to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
