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.
