Giant cell granuloma (GCG) is a pathology of unclear aetiology that appears after trauma or inflammatory processes. It may be asymptomatic, have an early presentation as a mass with inflammatory reaction, or behave in a locally aggressive manner. Diagnosis results from a combination of clinical, radiological and histological data. Treatment can be surgical, with more or less extensive surgery, as well as medical with different drugs.

We present the case of a patient who underwent surgery for a mandibular GCG who came to our hospital with a recurrence of the lesion, which was managed surgically by segmental resection and reconstruction with a fibula free flap, adding dental rehabilitation to the treatment for a global management of the case.

Palavras-chave : Giant cell granuloma; mandible; fibula graft; dental rehabilitation.
