Recurrent giant cell reparative granuloma of hard palate: role of Tc-99m-MDP three-phase bone scan.
A 42-year-old female presented with pain in the hard palate following surgical curettage for giant cell reparative granuloma. Radiographs of the face at this time did not reveal any abnormality. The surgeons' query was to differentiate fibrosis from recurrence before considering her for recurettage. The three-phase bone scan helped in establishing the diagnosis of recurrence, which was confirmed after histological examination of the curettaged tissue.
