Peripheral giant cell granuloma: a case report

Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a rare exophytic lesion that develops on the gingiva and alveolar ridge. Although the precise etiology of this lesion is unknown, it could represent a local reaction to trauma or irritation. Management requires a surgical excision of the lesion and elaborate recall due to possible recurrence. This report describes the clinical and histopathological features and management of a peripheral giant cell granuloma as it appeared in the maxillary anterior region of a 35-year-old female patient.
