Abstract

This article describes a case of central giant cell granuloma in the right posterior region of mandible in a 10- year-old girl. The lesion was removed by curettage and a histopathological examination was carried out. Clinical and radiographic follow-up showed total removal of the lesion. The importance of early diagnosis of this type of lesion is emphasized, mainly in children.
