Sažetak

A central giant cell granuloma of the maxilla is presented, which was diagnosed in a three-year-old girl and surgically treated, and which recurred on two occasions in the following eight years to a size which destroyed a large part of the maxilla, resorbed the roots of the anterior teeth and threatened that it could lead to the need for a more extensive mutilating operation. In this phase the case was treated by a conservative surgical method and further monitored for six years until the complete healing of the central granuloma. The presented final condition prompted the authors to question whether a radical surgical operation is necessary in the case of recurrences of central giant cell granuloma of the jaws.
