“…[15] Bhaskar and Jacoway reported that the common site to be involved is usually maxilla (58.5% in the maxilla and 41.5% in the mandible), anterior to molars, especially in incisor-canine regions (about 60% in anterior portion and about 40% in the posterior part). [11,13] However, in our study, 3 patients had the involvement of posterior maxilla, and in 1 patient, the maxillary anterior labial gingiva was involved. Pal et al described a lesion affecting the posterior portion of the mandible.…”

“…Metaplasia of the connective tissue leads to dystrophic calcification and bone formation. [5,11,13] POF is believed to comprise about 2-3% of all oral tumors [10,11,14] and 9-9.6% of all gingival growths. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Single lesions are the most frequent ones despite that Kumar et al have described a multisite case.…”

Peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) is composed of fibroblastic connective tissue stroma which is associated with the formation of randomly dispersed foci of mineralized products which consists of bone, cementoid-like substance, or dystrophic calcification. The color of the lesion ranges from red to pink and is frequently ulcerated. Either sessile or pedunculated the size is <2 cms. POF shows a striking female predilection occurring mostly between 2 nd and 3 rd decades of life. It occurs exclusively on gingiva, frequently on maxilla than mandible, around incisors and canines. Adjacent teeth are usually not affected. Microscopically, POF appears as combination of mineralized product and fibrous proliferation. Highly developed bone or cementum is more likely to be present in long-standing lesions. The objectives of this current case series are to discuss the clinical manifestations, and histopathological presentations of four cases of POF, which were on regular follow-up along with a minireview on the same.

“…Different stages in giant cell evolution from formation to degeneration have been described, but little is understood about either the composition or behaviour of the non-giant cell elements that form the bulk of PGCG (Sapp, 1972;Katsikeris et d , 1988;Dayan et ~i l , 1990). Mineralised tissue, (principally woven and lamellar bone, and less often dystrophic calcification), occurs within !4-54% of PGCG indicating that osteoblasts are present, and while osteoblasts influence the behaviour of osteoclasts, it is unknown if this effect extends to PGCG giant cells (Brown et al, 1956;Giansanti and Waldron, 1969;Bhaskar ef al, 1971;Macleod and Soames, 1987;Katsikeris et al, 1988;Dayan et af, 1990;Rodan, 1992;Raisz et al, 1993). Myofibroblasts, and either macrophages, or their precursors are present (Regezi et al, 1987;Dayan et al, 1989).…”

Peripheral giant cell granuloma: a clinical study of 77 cases from 62 patients, and literature review

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to identify the principle clinical features of the peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG), and to recognise clinical features of PGCG that are poorly defined. DESIGN: We reviewed retrospectivety 77 cases of PGCG from 62 patients, from our files with respect to incidence, sex, patient age, race, clinical symptoms and signs, radio‐graphic features and recurrence following excision. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Our results were largety in agreement with previous reports, although there is wide variation in the results published between series. In addition, some clinical features of PGCG are poorly defined. Little is known about the retative incidences of PGCG and central giant cell granuloma. An association between PGCG and tooth loss may exist, but is poorly defined, and not all PGCG that involve edentulous areas follow recent tooth loss. Information about PGCG recurrence after excision is limited, and does not necessarily follow incomplete excision. Despite the large number of reported cases of PGCG, clarification of some clinical features is required, and may hetp formulation and interpretation of future laboratory‐based research into this poorly understood lesion.

“…Cooke [4] quoting Darlington's study & others showed that majority of cases are between 4 -6 decades. Brown, Darlington & Kupfer [5] showed 37% of lesions in range of 31 -45 years of age, whereas Anderson [6] stated that it was found in younger patients. The present case-1 was 18 year old patient and case-2 was 19 year old.…”
