Abstract
Giant cell lesions represent a diagnostically challenging group due to overlapping clinical and histological features. In the craniofacial region, giant cell tumors are uncommon, with the mandible being the most frequently involved site. We present a case of giant cell tumor that arose from the lower border of the mandible in left side, which is a rare site. A 40-year-old female patient presented with progressively enlarging swelling over the left mandibular angle of one-month duration. Tru-cut biopsy was suggestive of a giant cell lesion. After ruling out other systemic causes, she underwent surgical excision through the submandibular incision and a diagnosis of giant cell tumor was made histopathologically. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at a 6-month follow-up, the patient exhibited no clinical or radiographic signs of recurrence.
