Intra-osseous cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a rare and benign lesion. Very few cases of CG of the jaws have been described in the literature. CG of the jaws seems to be due to the accumulation of cholesterol of hematogenous origin in odontogenic cysts. We report on one case of CG of the maxilla treated by surgical enucleation in a 46-year-old man who presented an asymptomatic swelling of the maxilla.
骨内胆固醇肉芽肿（CG）是一种罕见的良性病变。文献中报道的颌骨CG病例极少。颌骨CG似乎是由于血源性胆固醇在牙源性囊肿中积聚所致。我们报告一例46岁男性上颌骨CG病例，该患者上颌骨出现无症状肿胀，通过手术摘除进行治疗。
