Giant cell granuloma (GCG) is an infrequent benign lesion of the jawbone that sometimes exhibits aggressive behavior. The main locations are the maxillae, especially the mandible, with some extragathic bone sites, more frequently in women with very variable radiological aspects, however, the diagnosis will be made by histological examination. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient with giant-cell granuloma who was slow-moving and who underwent surgical excision + curettage. He currently available bibliographic data concerning the various possible GCG treatments show that curettage surgery, whether or not associated with larger excision, is the conventional treatment that causes the least recurrence.
