Abstract

Giant Cell Reparative Granuloma (GCRG) is an unusual non-neoplastic
lesion which most commonly involves maxilla and mandible. We
present a case of GCRG of the nasal cavity in a young female presented
with the complaint of progressively nasal obstruction. Radiological
findings are usually nonspecific in this entity, therefore a good clinical,
radiological and pathological correlation is needed for final diagnosis
and to differentiate it from other giant cell lesions. Surgical excision is
the preferred treatment modality over simple curettage.
