Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone accounts for 2 percent of craniofacial tumors. It is benign in nature and an aggressive tumor that tends to recur if inadequately excised. Giant cell tumors are frequently encountered in the long bones; however, occurrence in the maxillofacial region is rare, commonly affecting the mandible, maxilla, temporal bone and calvarium. Lesions affecting mandibular condyle are extremely rare. We report a rare case of giant cell tumor involving the mandibular condyle in a young male patient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
