Giant cell tumor of bone in the mandible presenting without typical histological features: a case report
Morphological analysis alone is insufficient for diagnosing giant cell tumor of bone, and H3.3G34W immunostaining is valuable in distinguishing it from other giant cell lesions. The possibility of giant cell tumor of bone should not be ruled out in cases involving the jaw, although its occurrence is rare.
