Introduction
Granular-cell odontogenic tumours (GCOTs):
‐ Benign odontogenic neoplasms
‐ Age,Sex: Most commonly in middle-aged women
‐ Site: Mandible
‐ Symptom: Asymptomatic swelling
‐ Diagnosis: Biopsy and histological examination
‐ Differential diagnosis: Ameloblastoma, fibrous dysplasia, Peripheral ossifying fibroma
‐ Treatment: Surgical excision or curettage
‐ Prognosis: Recurrence and malignant transformation are rare Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG):
‐ Age: Children and young adults
‐ Site: Lips
‐ Symptom: Asymptomatic enlargement
‐ Cause: May be genetic, infectious or immune-mediatedin origin
‐ Diagnosis: Clinical presentation, biopsy of the affected mucosa, with histological examination revealing non-caseating granulomas
‐ Differential diagnosis: Crohn’s disease, Angioneurotic oedema, potential dietary allergens
‐ Treatment: Intralesional corticosteroid injection
Case report Present illness:
A 19-year-old woman of Afro-Caribbean origin presented with a 3-year history of a gradually enlarging hard painless swelling of the right mandible. Recurrent upper lip swelling, occurring at 2-month intervals over the last 5 years, was also reported (Figs 1 and 2). The patient was otherwise fit and well; she was a smoker and consumed a moderate amount of alcohol.
Clinical findings:
‐ Right sided facial asymmetry
口腔病理科 On-Line KMU Student Bulletin
‐ No lymphadenopathy
‐ Bony expansion of the buccal sulcus extending from the lower right second premolar to the lower right second molar
‐ Overlying mucosa was normal in appearance
‐ No altered sensation to the lower lip X-ray findings:
‐ Radiolucency extending from the distal aspect of the root of the lower right 2nd premolar to the mesial aspect of the unerupted lower right 3rd molar, with expansion of the mandible in the inferior– superior aspect.
‐ Honeycomb pattern
‐ Minimal resorption of the distal root of the 1st molar was evident, with no displacement of the dentition
Pathological findings:
Incisional biopsy of the right mandibular cystic lesion
‐ Myxoid, cellular connective tissue comprising spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and oval nuclei interspersed with large numbers of granular cells displaying pale, eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and eccentric, oval nuclei (Fig. 4).
‐ There was no cytological atypia or evidence of malignancy.
‐ Immunohistochemical analysis
‐ These granular cells showed cytoplasmic positivity for CD68, as one would expect in a case of GCOT (Fig. 5)

Biopsy of the upper lip
‐ These appearances are consistent with those of OFG. However, they can also be seen in Crohn’s disease, which needs to be clinically excluded.
Management
‐ The GCOT was removed by curettage under general anaesthetic.
口腔病理科 On-Line KMU Student Bulletin
‐ Enlargement to the upper lip associated with the OFG was reduced by local infiltration of a corticosteroid
‐ 4 months postoperatively follow up
The GCOT showed no evidence of recurrence.
There was evidence of recurrent inflammation to the upper lip, and an additional intralesional corticosteroid injection was provided.
‐ 6 months postoperatively follow up
No evidence of anaesthesia to the cutaneous distribution of the IAN
All teeth in the quadrant had a positive response to vitality testing.
An OPT radiograph: bony infill to the area of curettage. The abnormal
‘honeycomb’ appearance of the mandible was observed to extend from the apex of the lower right 2nd premolar to the midline of the lower right 3rd molar.
There remained evidence of expansion of the mandible in the superior–inferior aspect with bowing of the lower border.
Discussion
Granular-cell odontogenic tumours (GCOTs):
‐ Rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with fewer than 40 reported cases.
‐ Common in female
‐ High proportion of cases are observed in patients of 60 to 80 y/o
‐ Asymptomatic buccal expansion of the posterior mandible
‐ X-ray: unilocular or multilocular RL, RO presentation has been described
‐ No evidence of displacement of the dentition
- 4 -
‐ The inferior dental canal was observed to pass through the lesion and to have been preserved intact. Previous cases have illustrated displacement of the inferior dental canal inferiorly.
Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG):
‐ OFG is an uncommon condition characterised by recurrent swelling of the orofacial region
‐ Corticosteroids are the mainstay of clinical treatment and are intended to reduce inflammation and lower the incidence of recurrence.
Conclusion
‐ The occurrence of a granular-cell odontogenic tumour alongside a presentation of orofacial granulomatosis has not previously been reported.
‐ Both conditions are known to have an immune-mediated component, a granulomatous reaction can be observed in cases of GCOT. Despite this, the two conditions do not appear to be related.
