Giant cell reparative granuloma (GCRG) is an infrequent non-tumoural lesion affecting particularly the maxillary and mandibular bones and only rarely the cranial bones. The pathogenesis is still controversial and the differential diagnosis, especially from giant cell tumours of bone, is difficult. A case of GCRG of the sphenoid masquerading as an intracranial tumour is reported here. The relevant literature is reviewed.

A retrospective study on 80 children with uniocular proptosis has been done. Of these 57 had orbital lesions, 19 had periorbital lesions and 4 had intracranial lesions. The clinical, radiological and pathological aspects as well as the management of these conditions are discussed.
