Reduction surgery using a combination of a stereolithographic model and navigation system for ossifying fibroma with secondary central giant cell granuloma

Auris Nasus Larynx. 2016 Apr;43(2):207-11. doi: 10.1016/j.anl.2015.08.003. Epub 2015 Aug 24.

Abstract

Both central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) and ossifying fibroma (OF) are relatively common diseases. The synchronous presentation of CGCG and OF is, however, an extremely rare occurrence. We present an unusual case with the synchronous presentation of these two diseases in the maxilla and introduce a surgical strategy based on a combination of the stereolithographic model and navigation system for the treatment of gigantic OF with secondary CGCG.

Keywords: Central giant cell granuloma; Navigation system; Ossifying fibroma; Stereolithographic model.
