Full Description
The book covers all the oral and maxillofacial lesions which contain giant cells, either as a pathognomonic feature or otherwise. It includes different types of giant cells (i.e. physiological, inflammatory and tumorigenic) followed by four ways of classification. The book provides a detailed description of the lesions along with differential diagnoses for the ease of appropriate diagnosis.
Chapters describe the clinical features of the giant cell lesions, along with in-depth histological and radiographic features in an easy-to-understand language. The book addresses the latest trends in the management of these conditions. It includes a special section on advanced imaging modalities with relevant images for different lesions.
The book is relevant for general, oral and maxillofacial pathologists, practicing oral surgeons, and residents of general pathology, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial radiology, and medical and dental students. It also helps the orthopedicians, general medicine and internal medicine professionals in expanding their knowledge about giant cell lesions about the oral and maxillofacial region.
