Comments:
In the areas of bone resorption, the replacing fibroblastic tissue contains numerous osteoclast-like giant cells. If close attention is not paid to the clinical presentation and radiographic features, this may lead to mistaken diagnosis of a giant cell tumor. However, the giant cell tumors, in the typical diagnostic fields, usually lack fibrogenic stroma.
