Abstract :

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG)is the most common oral giant cell lesion. It is a benign reactive lesion of gingiva which manifests as a firm, soft, ight purplish– red nodule or as a sessile or pedunculated mass consisting of multinucleated giant cells in a background of mononuclear stromal cells and extravasated red blood cells.

Itis localized to attached gingiva, or on alveolar mucosa, but never found on non osseous supported tissue andarises interdentally or from gingival margin. This lesion probably does not represent a true neoplasm, but rather may be reactive in nature, but the cause is not certainly known. This article reports the management of peripheral giant cell granuloma in 25 year old female by surgical excision.There was no residual or recurrent swelling or bony defect apparent in the area of biopsy after a follow–up periodof3 months.
