Introduction: Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG) is an intraosseous lesion consisting of cellular fibrous tissue that contains multiple foci of hemorrhage, aggregations of multinucleated giant cells and occasionally trabeculae of woven bone1.

Presentation Of Case: we are presenting a case of Central Giant Cell Granuloma on Maxilla. Extra oral examination revealed a diffuse swelling on the left side of face causing slight obliteration of nasio - nasolabial labial fold resulting in facial asymmetry & Intraoral examination shows a purple expansile mass in the region of upper left 26, 27 and 28 edentulous areas.

Discussion: Giant Cell Granuloma is a rare bony lesion in the Head and Neck region. It is a non-odontogenic tumor never seen in any other bone of the skeleton. It most commonly affects maxilla followed by the mandible.

Conclusion: There is no recurrence after a long follow up period. We concluded that conventional excision is to be considered as a best method to treat central giant cell granuloma.

This review will describe various disease processes resulting in pulmonary vasculitis. The clinical and imaging findings in these diseases often overlap with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage secondary to pulmonary capillaritis, a common manifestation in many of these diseases. A multidisciplinary approach is important for the correct diagnosis of these diseases, and this review will highlight the important imaging findings that radiologists need to be aware of to aid in this diagnostic process.

Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are versatile cell models in biomedical and environmental research. Of the various GUV production methods, hydrogel-assisted GUV production is most easily implemented in a typical biological laboratory. To date, agarose, polyvinyl alcohol, cross-linked dextran-PEG, polyacrylamide, and starch hydrogels have been used to produce GUVs.
