| description | Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) or 'epulis gigantocelularis' is the most common oral lesion that originates from giant cells. It typically manifests in the form of soft tissue tumor purple-red or red-watery color consisting of multinuclear giant cells in the mononuclear stroma and extravascular erythrocytes. This lesion is not considered true neoplasm, rather reactive lesion stimulated by local irritation and trauma. However, the cause is not known with certainty. This paper presents a 13-year-old boy with a large lesion in the region of right maxillary canine that was retained in jaw despite favorable vertical position and available space to accommodate in the dental arch. The lesion was completely removed under local anesthesia and histopathological findings confirmed the diagnosis of PGCG. Postoperative period went without complications. After four months additional surgical procedure was needed due to the recurrence, which after tooth naturally erupted and positioned in the dental arch. |
