Letter to the editor concerning Stavropoulos F, Katz J. Central giant cell granulomas: A systematic review of the radiographic characteristics with the addition of 20 new cases published in Dentomaxillofacial Radiology 2002; 31: 213-217

摘要

I was reviewing the above mentioned paper and I found that some numbers are not mentioned correctly in Table 4. The authors did not consider the lesions with corticated borders when they reported the lesions with well-defined borders from previously published papers. 1. Homer. The author reported 18 (69%) well-defined lesions but did not consider 2 lesions (8%) with corticated borders. 2. Kaffe et al. Out of the 18 new cases in this article, 7 (39%) had well-defined borders but the authors mentioned 10 (56%). 3. Whitaker and Waldron stated in their paper that most cases were well delineated and only 13 (19%) had corticated borders, but in Table 4 the authors considered only these 13 cases (19%) as well defined, which made the majority of the lesions poorly defined.
