 Giant cell tumours (GCT) of the bone are relatively rare, benign condition of jaw, which accounts for around 4–5 % of all primary bone tumors. A 14 years old female reported with a painless swelling on right side of face since 5 months, rapidly increasing in size with no history of any associated trauma or loosening of teeth or ill habits. Patient presented with facial asymmetry over right side of the face. Intraoral examination revealed a swelling in the gingivo–labial groove. Incisional biopsy  revealed  a histopathological reading of numerous multinucleated giant cells along with fibroblastic proliferation intermixed with collagen fibres and mononuclear cells and area of hemorrhage. Infrastructural maxillectomy was performed and intraoperatively temporary surgical splint was placed.
