central giant cell granuloma

central giant cell granuloma
central giant cell reparative granuloma a lesion of the jaws, considered by some authorities to be a type of giant cell tumor, and by others to be a form of osteogenic sarcoma; lesions vary in degree of malignancy. It seems to be a central lesion of the bone of the jaws, representing an inflammatory reaction to injury or hemorrhage, and not a true neoplasm. It is composed of a spindle cell stroma punctuated by multinucleate giant cells.
