“…Regarding clinical characteristics, majority of the studies indicate that PGCG is more common in the mandible than in the maxilla [3,8,19,20] and it occurs in the incisor and canine region [7], although according to some other authors, these lesions are located posteriorly more than anteriorly [19,20], as observed in the present case. The lesion seems to have a slight female predilection and although it may develop at any age, it is most often observed in adults and the elderly people [1,3,8,15,19].…”

“…For the case described, considering the occurrence of successive recurrences that determined the need for repeated invasive clinical procedures in a short period of time and, in the face of this, a not very cooperative behavior identified in the clinical examination, it was decided to perform incisional biopsy due to the extensive size of the lesion and expected wound management complication. Despite similar cases of PGCG in children treated in dental outpatient clinics [16,17,21], in the management of the present case after the diagnosis was confirmed, surgical removal of the lesion under general anesthesia was chosen so that the child's lack of collaboration was not a reason for incomplete removal of the lesion during the surgical procedure, since it is believed that recurrences are related to the lack of inclusion of the periosteum or periodontal ligament in the excised lesion [19] and a superficial excision is prone to be performed in a patient with unfavorable behavior.…”

Objective: This article describes a case of a Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) in a girl. Introduction: PGCG is a relatively infrequent benign reactive lesion of the gingiva or alveolar ridge that develops in response to local irritation. Clinical appearance consists of a firm or soft smooth surface nodule in dissimilar colors of varying size with sessile or pedunculated implantation base. Radiographic features are generally nonspecific, thereby definitive diagnosis depends on microscopic examination to confirm the entity of PGCG. Case Report: A 6-year-old female patient was referred to the outpatient clinic of an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Department with the chief complaint of an intraoral swelling. The intraoral examination showed a painless sessile mass with exophytic growth similar to a tumorous lesion located on the mandibular alveolar ridge extending from distal aspect of right mandibular primary canine to mesial aspect of first permanent molar of the same side. Conclusion: Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a relatively uncommon lesion in children and potential for collaboration with the treatment in young patients should be considered for a successful therapeutic approach.

“…Various treatment modalities for PGCG have been described, including ethanolamine oleate sclerotherapy, surgical resection, and laser excision [10,17,18]. Using diode lasers can decrease chair time, accelerate patient healing, reduce post-operative pain, and decrease the risk of infections due to the low potency of the laser [17,19].…”

Peripheral giant cell granuloma is the most common non-neoplastic lesion that arises from the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. Although its etiology remains unclear, it is believed to be a reactive gingival overgrowth in response to local irritation, chronic trauma, or hormonal imbalance. In this report, we discuss the case of a 12-year-old male patient who presented with complaint of chewing difficulties due to gingival growth. The diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma was made based on clinical and histopathological examinations. The lesion was removed with a diode laser in a chairside procedure.

“…Due to the high vascularization of the lesion, the risk of bleeding and the mental condition of the patient, which could generate some complication of the procedure, the surgical team decides to perform the excisional biopsy through general anesthesia. In the surgical act, the bleeding control was properly carried out, so this led the surgeon to perform the removal of the lesion in a single surgical time 3,7 .…”

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign reactive lesion of the oral cavity. Although PGCG is classified as a tumor-like lesion, it does not represent a true neoplasm, however it is often associated with a response of local irritation and trauma. Clinically, it appears as an exophytic growth with either sessile or pedunculated base, it can be located in gingiva or edentulous alveolar mucosa and usually does not exceed two cm in diameter. The following report describes the case of a 64-year-old female diagnosed with a PGCG of a particularly large size and rapidly evolving, located in the upper jaw area. The lesion was completely excised, and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology, there is no apparent recurrence in the area after 12 months of follow-up. A few cases of PGCG greater than 5 cm in diameter have been reported. Furthermore, exceptional cases might present an abnormal rapid growth as well. An opportune diagnosis based on clinical examination, radiographic and histopathological study are fundamental for a prompt and efficient treatment.
