Bone lecture 2 Flashcards
Central giant cell granuloma
Etiology
Etiology uncertain; reactive process vs benign neoplasm
Central giant cell granuloma
Clinical features:
ages and location
60% cases occur before 30 years
70% mandible, anterior MC
Central giant cell granuloma
Nonaggressive lesions:
size?
symptoms?
growth?
Discovered how?
Smaller
Fewer symptoms
Slow growth
Discovered on routine radiographs
MORE COMMON
Central giant cell granuloma
Aggressive lesions:
size?
symptoms?
growth?
effect on teeth?
Cortex?
recurrence potential?
Larger at dx
Pain, paresthesia
Rapid growth
Root resorption, displacement
Cortical perforation
Greater recurrence potential
Central giant cell granuloma
Radiographic findings:
unilocular or multilocular RL, well-defined borders
Central giant cell granuloma histopath
Multinucleated giant cells in a background of mesenchymal cells
which form of CGCG is this? what else could this be?
aggressive CGCG
odontogenic myxoma
glandular odontogenic cyst
OKC
biopsy from ML RL
CGCG, multinucleated giant cells
Central giant cell granuloma
Treatment:
Recurrence rate:
Curettage
Peripheral ostectomy
Intralesional corticosteroids, calcitonin
Recurrence rate: appx 20%
Cherubism
where?
Mutation of?
result?
Appearance reminiscent of?
Developmental jaw disease
Mutation of SH3BP2
Enhanced osteoclastic activity →lytic bone lesions
Appearance reminiscent of cherubs
Cherubism
Clinical features:
First evident 2-5 years, mild cases dx 10-12
Alterations progress until puberty, then slowly regress
Bilateral expansion of the posterior mandible: Angle, rami, coronoid process
Involvement of inferior/lateral orbital wall →“eyes upturned to heaven”
Cherubism
Dental implications:
Tooth displacement
mobility
failure of eruption
impaired mastication
speech difficulties
Cherubism
Radiographic findings:
Bilateral, multilocular, expansile RL
Resorption of adjacent tooth roots
Thinning of cortical bone
Cherubism
Histopathology:
Clinical and RG correlation essential
Multinucleated giant cells, vascular fibrous tissue
biopsy from bilateral mulitlocular lucency, root resorbing
cherubism, multinucleated giant cells with a more pink stroma than CGCG (less RBC)
