Abstract EN
Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a common benign and reactive gingival epulis in oral cavity.
It is often difficult to make a clinical diagnosis; thereby definitive diagnosis depends on histopathologic features.
We report a case of a 4-year-old Caucasian boy presenting with a five-month history a 20 × 15 × 12 mm pedunculated, lobular soft tissue mass of the left anterior maxilla gingiva which was misdiagnosed and maltreated before his referral.
An excisional biopsy of the lesion followed by histopathologic examination of the biopsy specimen revealed distinctive features of peripheral giant cell granuloma.
Early detection and excision of this hyperplastic nodule especially in children are important to minimize potential dentoalveolar complications.
