Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a relatively uncommon benign bony lesion accounting for approximately 7% of all non-neoplastic lesions of the jaw. The clinical behavior of CGCG can vary from a slow-growing, painless lesion to fast-growing and locally destructive. When such a lesion involves the mandible, this can be quite debilitating for the patient, inhibiting oral intake and requiring an extensive resection and bone graft reconstruction. The authors present a case of effectively decreasing the surgical morbidity associated with a large and rapidly growing CGCG of the mandible in a pediatric patient. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy with denosumab (human monoclonal antibody) facilitated treatment of the tumor without the need for a large resection which would have otherwise necessitated a vascularized bony mandibular reconstruction. Consideration of neoadjuvant medical management of CGCG as the primary treatment is advocated.
中央性 giant 细胞肉芽肿(CGCG)是一种相对罕见的良性骨病变,约占颌骨所有非肿瘤性病变的 7%。CGCG 的临床行为可从缓慢生长、无痛性病变到快速生长和局部破坏性病变不等。当此类病变累及下颌骨时,可能会使患者非常虚弱,妨碍口腔摄入,并需要广泛的切除和骨移植重建。作者介绍了一例儿科患者下颌骨内大而快速生长的 CGCG,通过使用地舒单抗(人单克隆抗体)进行新辅助免疫治疗,有效地降低了与手术相关的发病率,而无需进行大的切除,否则需要进行带血管化的下颌骨重建。提倡将 CGCG 的新辅助药物治疗作为主要治疗方法。
