Central giant cell lesion (CGCL) is a benign disease involving the mandible (70%) more than the maxilla; it tends to be more common in women. Clinically, the lesion may be associated with pain, tooth displacement, facial asymmetry, paraesthesia and ulceration of the mucosa. The radiographic aspect of CGCL is highly variable since it may appear as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucent area with expansion and perforation of the cortical bone. Few previous reports have dealt with the usefulness of CT in the evaluation of this lesion. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical and imaging features of a case, including CT, treated by a conservative method.
中央巨细胞病变（CGCL）是一种良性疾病，累及下颌骨（70%）多于上颌骨；在女性中更为常见。临床上，该病变可能与疼痛、牙齿移位、面部不对称、感觉异常和黏膜溃疡有关。CGCL的影像学表现高度可变，因为它可能表现为单房或多房的透射区，并伴有皮质骨膨胀和穿孔。此前很少有报告涉及CT在评估该病变中的作用。本研究的目的是报告一例采用保守方法治疗的病例的临床和影像学特征，包括CT表现。
