Central giant cell granulomas (CGCG) are benign jaw lesions most commonly found in dentate regions. They typically exhibit slow growth and appear as unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies on radiographic examination. Enucleation with curettage remains the treatment of choice; however, long-term follow-up is recommended due to the significant risk of recurrence. This report presents two cases of CGCG and discusses their clinical outcomes in relation to current literature.
