Abstract

Giant cell reparative granuloma(GCRG) is a non-neoplastic rapidly expanding and locally destructive tumor that occurs almost exclusively within the mandible and maxilla. A 58-year-old man, complained of a mass on the left infra-auricular area starting 2 months ago. The radiologic finding suggests a mass that originate from mandible, pathology diagnosed the lesion as a giant cell reparative granuloma. The tumor was surgically excised without complications. We report the case with a review of literature.
