Abstract

                           Abstract

 Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma  (PGCG)   also  called "Giant cell epulis" is the most common oral  giant cell lesion . It is a benign  inflammatory  hyperplastic  type of lesion of  unknown etiology occurring in gingiva or alveolar ridge. This lesion probably does not represent a true neoplasm but rather may be a reactive in nature, believed to be stimulated by local irritation or trauma but the cause is not certainly known. This article reports a case of peripheral giant cell granuloma  in  a  8 year old boy. The lesion was completely excised to the periosteum level and there is no residual or recurrent, swelling or bony defect apparent in the area of biopsy after a follow-up period of 6 months.  Excisional   biopsy was performed under local anaesthesia and tissue was examined   histopathologically. The lesion was diagnosed as PGCG   after   thorough   clinical, radiologic and  histopathologic  examination.
