Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma at an Early Age: 2 Year Case Follow-Up
Abstract
Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a lesion which can be seen in all age groups and observed in the gingival and alveolar crest regions of the oral cavity. Although it is rare in children, it may show an aggressive character and cause pain, bleeding, localized swelling and displacement of teeth. The treatment and 2-year follow-up of a 6-year-old girl with PGCG is presented in this case report.
