Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma in Maxilla: Case Report

Abstract

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a reactive exophytic lesion that occurs on the gingiva and alveolar crest due to local irritation and trauma. It is usually localized in the mandible and it is frequently seen in 4-6 decades. The clinical appearance is bluish red, lesion similar to liver tissue, usually smaller than 2 cm. Its treatment is surgical excision. Very rarely, recurrence is observed. In this case report, the treatment and follow-up of the lesion located in the maxillary premolar region and diagnosed as PDHG histopathologically in a 51-year-old female patient were presented.

Öz

Periferal dev hücreli granüloma (PDHG) lokal irritasyon ve travma sebebiyle gingiva ve alveoler kret üzerinde ortaya çıkan reaktif
ekzofitik bir lezyondur. Genellikle mandibulada lokalizedir ve sıklıkla 4.-6. dekatlarda görülür. Klinik görünümü mavimsi kırmızı renkte,
karaciğer dokusuna benzeyen genellikle 2 cm’den küçük lezyondur. Tedavisi cerrahi eksizyondur. Çok nadir olarak nüks görülmektedir.
Bu olgu raporunda 51 yaşında kadın hastada maksiller premolar bölgede bulunan ve histopatolojik olarak PDHG tanısı konulmuş
lezyonun tedavisi ve takibi sunulmuştur.
