Seven CGCGs were treated with intralesional injection of corticosteroids. To accomplish this, 3.5 mL of triamcinolone and 3.5 mL of 0.5 % marcaine with 1/200,000 epinephrine (total 7 mL) were mixed. An adequate amount of steroid was injected into different areas of the lesion. This procedure was repeated on a weekly basis for 6 weeks. Clinical and radiological examination showed complete resolution and ossification of the lesions in four patients. Partial recovery was achieved in two patients. One patient did not respond to the treatment and underwent surgical curettage. We suggest that intralesional steroid injection is safe and effective for the treatment of CGCG, especially in non-aggressive lesions.en10.1007/s10006-015-0530-5info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGiant cell granulomaIntralesional injectionsCorticosteroidTriamcinolone acetonideReview20220320926481917Q2WOS:000390405000015N/A
