Abstract
A 14-year-old girl presented with progressive swelling of the jaw. Six weeks before this admission, a nonpainful lump in the left lower jaw developed. The mass increased in size, and swelling of the left side of the face and neck developed. A biopsy specimen from the mass showed abundant giant cells. The calcium level was 11.8 mg per deciliter. A diagnosis was made.Keywords
