Sporadic central giant cell granulomas of the jaws (GCGJ) are often solitary lesions, characterized by KRAS, FGFR1, and TRPV4 somatic mutations. Multifocal lesions may occur and are associated with hyperparathyroidism or underlying syndromes such as cherubism, which is marked by SH3BP2 mutations, and RASopathies, which are caused by mutations in the FGFR-RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling cascade. The diagnosis of...
