## TL;DR

This paper presents a case report of a rare oral lesion called central giant cell granuloma in a 31-year-old woman.

## Contribution

The paper contributes a new clinical case of CGCG, adding to the limited understanding of this rare condition.

## Key findings

- CGCG is a rare and controversial lesion with uncertain etiology.
- The case involved a 31-year-old female, consistent with the typical demographic of younger females.
- The lesion was located in the mandible and presented as a slow-growing swelling.

## Abstract

The oral cavity surprises us with a humongous variety of lesions. Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is one such rare presentation. The etiology of CGCG is controversial, which ranges from initially being considered a reparative lesion to currently being hypothesized as a mesenchymal proliferative jaw lesion. Clinically, CGCG is not a typical presenting lesion. It may be asymptomatic or even manifest as a slow-growing swelling. This entity most commonly occurs in younger females, particularly situated in the mandible. Here is a case report of a 31-year-old female with CGCG.
