Abstract

The central giant cell granuloma is a benign tumor seen generally in the mandible, but rarely in other cranial bones. Herein, we present a 51-year-old man with central giant cell granuloma in the right zygomatic bone. Physical and radiologic examinations of the central giant cell granuloma in the zygomatic bone showed that specific and preoperative diagnosis is usually difficult. Therefore, clinicians should consider the possibility that central giant cell granuloma may occur in the zygomatic bone mimicking other more frequently observed lesions.
