There were six (22%) male patients and 21 (78%) female patients in this study. They ranged in age from 8 to 70 years at the time of diagnosis (average±SD, 31.33±16.31 years), and 88.9% (24 cases) of the patients were under the age of 40.
Twelve (44%) of these patients had come to our clinic because of an expansion in their jaws, three (11%) because of a slightly painful lesion that appeared over two weeks, and twelve (44.5%) were diagnosed by chance during the radiographic examinations.
The distribution of CGCG in the mandible and maxilla is shown in Table 1. Lesions were located in the mandible in 15 (56%) cases and in the maxilla in 12 (44%) cases; 18 (67%) of these entities were located in the incisors-premolars area, three (11%) in the premolars-molars area, and six (22%) in the molars area (Figure 1).
