Abstract

This review discusses giant cell lesion with main focus on central giant cell granuloma of jaw. Review of the lesion with regard to its nomenclature, pathogenesis and its clinical, radiological & histopathological features is presented. Surgical therapy along with recently reported conservative management protocol is discussed in detail.  DOI: 10.21276/AABS.2017.1315
