Destructive lesions in the craniofacial region especially in the jawbones, if associated with giant cells, include a spectrum of lesions that pose difficulty in diagnosis. The nature of such a lesion in the jawbones is questionable about whether it is a reactive/benign lesion or aggressive/non-aggressive. Clinical, radiological and histopathological correlation may be a reliable indicator to differentiate between the qualities of the lesion, which directly accounts for effective and individual planning of the treatment. Here we present a case of a woman in her late 20s with an unusual destructive lesion of the mandible.
