Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign lesion regarded as a hyperplastic reaction to local injury or chronic trauma, developing only within the oral cavity. The common site for PGCG is the premolar gingival tissue and the crest of the edentulous alveolar ridge. 5PGCG presents as a firm, soft, bright pedunculated or sessile nodule with various sizes: that range from small papules to enlarged masses; though they are generally less than 20 mm in diameter and is asymptomatic. We describe a 41-year-old male who presented with a peripheral cell giant granuloma of the maxillary anterior area.
