PERIPHERAL GIANT CELL GRANULOMA: UNVEILING THE UNDERLYING MYSTERIES - A CASE PRESENTATION

Introduction: Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) is a common benign oral lesion also known as peripheral epulis. It appears as a reddishpurple nodule with multinucleated giant cells and is considered a reactive lesion linked to local irritation. Poor oral hygiene and hyperparathyroidism are possible risk factors. This case report describes an atypical presentation o Case Report: f PGCG in a 40-year-old diabetic female patient. The lesion exhibited unusual characteristics including extensive size and involvemen Discussion: t of multiple locations.

The case highlights the challenges associated with atypical presentations and underscores the importance of early diagnosis and prompt intervention. Early diagnosis, Conclusion: timely surgery, and good oral hygiene are key to managing PGCG and reducing recurrence.
