Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma

Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma or the so called “Giant Cell Epulis” is the most common oral giant cell lesion. It is described as non-neoplastic, hyperplastic lesion occurring exclusively on gingival/alveolar crest that appears as a overgrowth of tissues, following trauma or irritation arising from periosteum or periodontal membrane. It can be sessile or pedunculated with size usually less than 2cm. Although being uncommon, this lesion carries a lot of uncertainity in terms of its etiology, growth potential, biological behavior (recurrence), histogenesis of its cells and its treatment. We hereby report a case of a 49-year old male patient, with peripheral giant cell granuloma in mandibular posterior region, who was successfully treated and is on regular follow up since 6 months.

Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma

AbstractGiant cell granulomas (GCGs) of the jaws are non-neoplastic lesions that arise either peripherally in periodontal ligament, mucoperiosteum, or centrally in the bone. Histologically, both peripheral and central giant cell granuloma are characterized by the presence of numerous multinucleated giant cells in a prominent fibrous stroma. Peripheral giant cell granuloma is an infrequent reactive, exophytic lesion of the oral cavity, also known as giant-cell epulis, osteoclastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma, or giant cell hyperplasia. It is the most common giant cell lesion of the jaws and originates from the connective tissue of the periosteum or from the periodontal membrane, in response to local irritation or chronic trauma. The lesion develops mostly in adults, commonly in the lower jaw, with slight female predilection although is uncommon in children. Clinically, it shows resemblance to pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and many other peripheral lesions seen in the oral cavity, but in our case it resembled a squamous cell carcinoma, thereby histopathology is mandatory for the diagnosis of this lesion. The lesion although being relatively common, still has a lot of ambiguity. The ambiguity is in terms of its etiology, growth potential, biological behavior (recurrence), histogenesis of its cells, and its treatment. The entity further holds significance because of its notorious behavior and high tendency to recur. This is a case report of a 30-year-old female patient with history of swelling in the lower anterior region of jaw since 1 year. After complete excision of lesion, lesion reoccurred after few months.

Central giant cell granuloma (CGCG) is a benign non odontogenic lesion of jaw that may show aggressive behavior. It is classified as aggressive and non-aggressive lesion on the basis of biological behavior and radiographic features. Central giant cell lesion is more frequent in children and young adult before the age of 30 years with female predilection, with characteristic radiological and histopathological features. Here we present a case of a 35 years old female with clinical and radiological diagnosis of central giant cell lesion in posterior mandible confirmed by histopathology. A surgical approach with regular follow up is the treatment of choice in most of the cases. Key Words: Calcitonin, Corticosteroid, Curettage, Enucleation, Giant cell lesion

SummaryPeripheral giant cell granuloma is the most common jaw located giant cell lesion. It originates from periosteum or from periodontal membrane as a response to local irritation or chronic trauma. It appears as a firm, soft or elastic nodule, sessile or pedunculated. Early and accurate diagnosis leads to sufficient management, minimizing possible damage of the adjacent tissues.This article reports the management of a peripheral giant cell granuloma in a 40-year-old male patient.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) which is also called as Giant cell Epulis is one of the most common reactive hyperplastic lesions of the oral cavity. There are various etiologies relating PGCG which include local irritation, trauma, tooth extraction, irregular restorations, plaque, calculus, chronic infection & impacted food. One important other etiology of this benign tumor is its origin from periosteum or periodontal membrane. Excision of the lesion completely along with extraction of involved tooth is the option of treatment to prevent recurrence of the lesion in some cases. This case report describes the recurrence of the Peripheral giant cell granuloma even after complete excision in 3 months.Management of recurrent Peripheral giant cell granuloma by surgical excision of the lesion was carried out along with extraction of the associated tooth and curettage of the bone walls. Profuse bleeding after tooth extraction was managed by gel-spun. Periodic recalls doesn’t show any recurrence until one month.

Implant Therapy

Purpose. Implant therapy plays an important role in contemporary dentistry with high rates of long-term success. However, in recent years, the incidence of peri-implantitis and implant failures has significantly increased. The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) rarely occurs in peri-implant tissues and it is clinically comparable to the lesions associated with natural teeth. Therefore, the study of possible diseases associated with dental implants plays an important role in order to be able to diagnose and treat these conditions.Materials and Methods. This report described a 60-year-old Caucasian male who presented a reddish-purple pedunculated mass, of about 2 cm in diameter, associated with a dental implant and the adjacent natural tooth.Results. An excisional biopsy was performed and the dental implant was not removed. Histological examination provided the diagnosis of PGCG. After 19-month follow-up, there were no signs of recurrence of peri-implantitis around the implant.Conclusion. The correct diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment of peri-implant giant cell granuloma are very important for a proper management of the lesion in order to preserve the implant prosthetic rehabilitation and prevent recurrences.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) associated to dental implants is a very infrequent peri-implant soft-tissue complication, with only 11 cases recorded in the literature to date. The present study describes a 54-year-old woman presenting a swelling of the alveolar margin in the fourth quadrant in relation to a fixed prosthesis cemented over implants. Treatment consisted of complete resection of the lesion with implantoplasty of the exposed implant threads. The diagnosis of PGCG was confirmed by histological study, and no relapse has been recorded after 12 months of follow-up.

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a non neoplastic reactive lesion of the gingiva, originating from the periosteum or periodontal membrane following local irritation or chronic trauma. PGCG manifests as a red-purple growth located in the gingiva or edentulous alveolar margins. The lesion can develop at any age, shows a slight female predilection. Usually, they cause one or the other problem in eruption or alignment of teeth, but may also present without disturbing the normal occlusion or eruption pattern. Management of these teeth depends on the symptoms. Presented here is a case of PGCG in relation to the lower right  first premolar in a 10 year old child.

Abstract Background Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is an uncommon pathology that affects gingival or alveolar mucosa. Although PGCG can be associated with dental implants, little is known about this lesion and implant osseointegration as well as its etiopathogenesis and the treatments available. This study sought to report a rare case of PGCG associated with dental implant, emphasizing its clinical and histopathological aspects. Case presentation A 53-year-old man had an exophytic, reddish lesion, around a crown attached to a dental implant located in the left mandible. Radiographically, there was bone loss around the implant. After excisional biopsy, histological examination revealed a submucosal proliferation of multinucleated giant cells rendering the diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma. Patient has been under follow-up for 6 months with no recurrence. Conclusions Peri-implant lesions must be completely removed to prevent recurrence of PGCG and implant failure, even in cases suspected to be reactive. Besides, histological examination must be performed on all peri-implant reactions to achieve the appropriate diagnosis and, consequently, the best treatment and follow up.
