Abstract
Background: Giant cell granuloma associated with hyperparathyroidism is very limited and mostly has not been published in a wide scale before. Advances in laboratory techniques has resulted in the routine adoption of biomedical screening. This has led to the early diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism even with no symptoms. Moreover, advancement in radiological procedures has shown a great role in the diagnosis of many bony complications due to hyperparathyroidism.
Aim: The aim of this work is to present the development and presentations of giant cell granuloma in hyperparathyroidism.
Case presentation: The current study presented two cases of primary hyperparathyroidism that were discovered during a screening program out of 120 patients. These patients were clinically examined. There examination revealed a painless left mandibular swelling in one case and painful in the other which was diagnosed as periodontal abscess in one patient that was excluded from this study.
Conclusion: Hyperparathyroidism may be suspected when mandibular swelling is detected; the most effective therapy must be surgical excision with the control of the parathyroid level.
