Why is it important?
Diagnosis involves assessing medical history, physical examination, and radiological tests, and treatment options depend on factors such as tumor size, location, and symptoms. Surgery is the primary approach for treatment, but nonsurgical options such as alpha-interferon, calcitonin, and corticosteroids may also be considered. Regular follow-ups are necessary to monitor for any recurrence of the tumor.
Perspectives
Central giant cell tumors (CGCTs) are uncommon benign tumors that mainly affect the jaw bones, typically in females under the age of 20.
