Background: Central giant cell granuloma is an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue that contains multiple foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone. Aims: This is a case report of a 10 year old male who was diagnosed with central giant cell grauloma that had deviated the path of eruption of permanent canine. Materials and Methods: Clinical, radiographic, aspiration and histological investigations were done to make the diagnosis for the lesion. Enucleation of the lesion was done under local anaesthesia and the biopsy report confirmed the lesion to be a central giant cell granuloma (CGCG). The lesion healed both clinically and radiologically with no report of reoccurrence. Results and Conclusion: The clinician needs to be aware of possible oral pathology when unexpected tooth mobility, displacement, delayed eruption, early exfoliation or various other pathological signs and symptoms are present.
