Central giant cell granuloma of the palate; unusual localisation in a five year old child.

The central giant cell granuloma of the maxillo-mandibular region is a relatively uncommon lesion (3.5%-0.1%). Essentially, it occurs in the second decade of life and it is mainly located in the mandibular region. The female/male ratio is 3:1. The authors present an unusual localisation of central giant cell granuloma in a five year old child's maxillary bone. After a surgical curettage of the lesion, an eighteen months follow-up examination did not show any recurrence.
