Abstract
Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis or periostitis ossificans with a radi ographic 'onion skin' appearance is a separate clinical entity. The ne w bone formation underneath the periosteum is a response of periosteum to stimulation by low grade infection. This may occur in a variety of other developmental, metabolic, inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of bone. A case of mandibular giant cell granuloma of a central type a ssociated with Garre's sclerosing osteomyelitis is presented and the l iterature is reviewed.
