Radiotherapy for recurrent central Giant cell granuloma: a case report

Authors: Qi Zhang, Zelai He, Gengming Wang, Hao Jiang

Published in: Radiation Oncology | Issue 1/2019

Abstract

Background

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a rare, non-neoplastic, benign lesion that exhibits expansive and osteolytic biological behavior. CGCG treatment and management is challenging for clinicians.

Case presentation

This report presents the treatment and management of recurrent, aggressive CGCG after surgical resection. After informed consent was obtained, the patient underwent radiotherapy. The lesion size was reduced significantly, with no evidence of recurrence or malignant transformation.

Conclusions

This treatment experience indicates that radiotherapy can be used as a rescue treatment for complicated CGCG involving vital neurovascular structures of the cranial base.
