Abstract

The most widespread giant cell lesion detected in the oral cavity is Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG), also dubbed as a "giant cell epulis." Typically, it presents as a reddish-purple protuberance within soft tissue, characterized by the presence of mononuclear stromal cells, extravasated red blood cells, and multinucleated giant cells. While it can arise at any age, it is predominantly observed between 30 and 40 years, with a higher incidence among females. This case study records an instance of PGCG in the anterior maxilla of a 55-year-old female patient. Following complete excision of the lesion, no enduring swelling or bone irregularities were observed in the region.
