Abstract:In this present series, we studied in detail the cytologic features of five histopathologically verified cases of central giant-cell granuloma (CGCG). All the patients in this series were female, with an age range of 11-60 years. There were three cases with involvement of the lower jaw and two cases had upper jaw involvement. Cytology smears showed dispersed single cells in the background. Nuclei of the individual cells were round to ovoid with fine chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli. The cytoplasm of these cells was moderate in amount with indistinct cell borders. Many randomly scattered multinucleated giant cells with 10-20 nuclei were present in the background. Combination of clinical features, radiologic pictures, and cytologic features may be helpful for diagnosis of CGCG on fine-needle aspiration cytology.
Keywords:fine‐needle aspiration cytology  central giant‐cell granuloma  jaw lesions
