We describe multiple metachronous central giant cell granulomas in a 62-year-old man who has a first degree relative with a history of a solitary central giant cell granulomas. The patient presented in 1997 with a large central giant cell granuloma of the right maxilla which was treated with a partial maxillectomy. A small recurrence was then identified and the successful management of this is described. The patient has also a histologically confirmed central giant cell granuloma previously removed from the right body of the mandible and the left angle of the mandible. The differential diagnosis of multiple central giant cell granulomas of the jaw is considered. It is possible that the present case may indeed represent a new syndrome or subtype of multiple central giant cell granulomas. The problem of treating such aggressive sub-types of giant cell granulomas is also addressed in the context of recent advances of surgical and medical management.
