Giant cell granulomas (GCGs) are a benign condition that commonly affects females in their first and second decades of life and almost exclusively involves the jaws. We describe a rare presentation of a GCG involving the zygomatic bone in a five-month-old infant, an exceedingly uncommon location and age group for this entity. While GCGs are most frequently seen in the mandible or maxilla of young females, to our knowledge, there are no previous reports describing zygomatic involvement in this age group. Through detailed multimodality imaging, surgical pathology, and clinical follow-up, we highlight the diagnostic considerations, recurrence potential, and role of adjuvant therapy in managing this lesion.
巨细胞肉芽肿(GCGs)是一种良性疾病,通常影响10至20岁的女性,几乎仅累及颌骨。我们描述了一例罕见的病例,一名5个月大的婴儿的颧骨出现了巨细胞肉芽肿,这对于该疾病来说是极其罕见的发病部位和年龄组。虽然巨细胞肉芽肿最常见于年轻女性的下颌骨或上颌骨,但据我们所知,此前尚无关于该年龄组颧骨受累的报道。通过详细的多模态影像学检查、手术病理学检查及临床随访,我们强调了在处理该病变时的诊断要点、复发可能性及辅助治疗的作用。
