ABSTRACT
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is the best examination for bone lesions of the maxilla, allowing the dentist to evaluate precisely the behavior and components of the lesion and their relationship to the surrounding structures. Central giant cell lesion and cherubism are histologically very similar lesions. Therefore clinical and radiological examinations are fundamentally important for the diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to report two cases diagnosed as central giant cell lesions and cherubism using CBCT. This imaging modality was very important for the diagnosis of the lesions presented in the current study. It also allowed observing precisely the limits of the lesions, the components, the behavior and the exact relationship to adjacent structures.
RESUMO
A tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) é o melhor exame para lesões ósseas da maxila, permitindo que o dentista possa avaliar com mais confiabilidade o comportamento, os componentes da lesão, e sua relação com estruturas adjacentes. A Lesão central de células gigantes e o querubismo são patologias muito semelhantes histologicamente, portanto, exames clínicos e radiológicos são de fundamental importância para o diagnóstico. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar dois casos diagnosticados usando TCFC, um de lesões centrais de células gigantes e um de querubismo. Esta modalidade de imagem foi muito importante para o diagnóstico das patologias apresentadas neste estudo. Também permitiu observar com mais confiabilidade os limites das lesões, os componentes, o comportamento e a relação exata com as estruturas adjacentes.
