Abstract :

Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition with a variable phenotypic expression. It is characterized by short stature, distinct craniofacial features, congenital heart anomalies and developmental delay. The main craniofacial features include hypertelorism with a downward slanting palpebral fissures ptosis, low set posteriorly rotated ears, deeply grooved philtrum and a high arched palate. Furthermore, Noonan syndrome has been found to be closely linked to tumor development, such as central giant cell granuloma (CGCG). As in this report we present a case of an 11-year-old male diagnosed with Noonan syndrome and during his dental screening, a multilocular lesion in the right side of his mandible was discovered coincidentally in an orthopantomogram and was diagnosed to be central giant cell granulomas after the histopathological assessment following surgery.
