Giant cell reparative granuloma is an unusual benign process arising especially in the maxillofacial bones. It occurs in the second and third decades, predominantly in children and young adults, and is classified as peripheral (located in gingival tissues) and central (located in bone). We presented an unusual case with a lytic and aggressive radiological appearance.
