Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Giant cell granuloma is rare in the head and neck region and most commonly affects the maxilla and mandible. Although it is a benign disease process, it may be locally destructive. Surgery is the treatment currently recommended. Because of the location of the disease, surgery may be disfiguring. Because it is a benign process, less radical nonsurgical treatment alternatives are desirable.
METHODS: A case report of a giant cell granuloma treated with steroid injections.
RESULTS: After six weekly intralesional steroid injections, a giant cell granuloma of the maxilla became calcified and smaller. After a follow-up period of 2 years, there was no evidence of regrowth, and the bony osteolytic lesion had filled with bone. A review of the literature revealed two case reports of successful steroid injections with similar response.
CONCLUSIONS: Steroid injections are a viable alternative in the treatment of giant cell granuloma, which may avoid surgery.
