Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma in Maxilla: Case Report

Abstract

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive exophytic lesion that occurs on the gingiva and alveolar crest due to local irritation and trauma. It is usually localized in the mandible and it is frequently seen in 4-6 decades. The clinical appearance is bluish red, lesion similar to liver tissue, usually smaller than 2 cm. Its treatment is surgical excision. Very rarely, recurrence is observed. In this case report, the treatment and follow-up of the lesion located in the maxillary premolar region and diagnosed as PDHG histopathologically in a 51-year-old female patient were presented.
