Abstract
In a study of benign multinucleated-cell-containing lesions of the jaws, sixty-four
examples of giant-cell reparative granuloma and only two of genuine giant-cell tumor
of bone were encountered at the Mayo Clinic in a fifty-two-year period. Other benign
giant-cell-containing lesions, such as aneurysmal bone cysts, cherubism, fibrous dysplasia,
and malignant tumors, must be distinguished from giant-cell reparative granuloma.
The central and peripheral tumors of this giant-cell reparative process are so similar
histopathologically that differentiation must be made on roentgenographic or surgical
findings, and an arbitrary designation is sometimes necessary.
Giant-cell reparative granulomas respond favorably to conservative surgical removal,
which is the treatment of choice.
