Abstract

Peripheral giant cell granuloma is the most common non-neoplastic lesion that arises from the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. Although its etiology remains unclear, it is believed to be a reactive gingival overgrowth in response to local irritation, chronic trauma, or hormonal imbalance. In this report, we discuss the case of a 12-year-old male patient who presented with complaint of chewing difficulties due to gingival growth. The diagnosis of peripheral giant cell granuloma was made based on clinical and histopathological examinations. The lesion was removed with a diode laser in a chairside procedure.
