TREATMENT OF GIANT CELL GRANULOMA WITH INTRALESIONAL CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS: A CASE REPORT
Giant cell granuloma is rare in the head and
neck region and most commonly affects the maxilla
and mandible. Giant cell granulomas are benign but
occasionally aggressive lesions that are traditionally
treated with surgery. Because it is a benign process,
less radical and non-surgical treatment alternatives
are required. Corticosteroid injection is a viable
alternative in the treatment of central giant cell
granuloma to avoid surgery. We aim to present a
case which was successfully treated with intralesional
corticosteroid injection in the maxilla
