Abstract

Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a benign reactive lesion of gingiva. It manifests as a firm, soft, bright nodule, sessile or pedunculate mass. It is an infrequent exophytic lesion of the oral cavity, also known as giant cell epulis, osteoclastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma, or giant-cell hyperplasia. The aim in publishing this report is to present the clinical, histo­pathological features and treatment of a peripheral giant cell granuloma case, which was seen in gingiva of a 10 year old male child, with history of disturbed chewing functions due to its large size. Intraoral examination revealed a raised, round, sessile, smooth-edged mass of size 2x 1 cm2 and was located on the canine, deciduous first molar region. After initial peri­odontal treatment, excisional biopsy was performed under local anesthesia. The lesion was diagnosed as Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma after clinical and pathological examination.
