Giant cell tumor of the maxilla: an unusual neoplasm
Abstract
Giant cell tumors (GCT) of the bone are uncommon primary bone neoplasms that occur mainly in the epiphyses of long bones. Their incidence in craniofacial skeleton is rare, particularly in the maxilla. We report a case of a 12-year-old patient with a GCT of the left maxilla, who underwent a surgical excision of whole mass, and showed no recurrence one year after intervention.
