  • Title: Post-traumatic development of a peripheral giant cell granuloma in a child.
    Author: Grand E, Burgener E, Samson J, Lombardi T.
    Journal: Dent Traumatol; 2008 Feb; 24(1):124-6. PubMed ID: 18173683.
    Abstract:
    The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign hyperplastic gingival lesion of unknown aetiology occurring mostly in adults. A few cases have been described in children where a more aggressive clinical behaviour has been observed. In this paper, we report a case of PGCG localized in the anterior region of the maxilla of a 6-year-old boy which developed 6 months following a traumatic event. Early detection and treatment of PGCG is important to reduce possible dento-alveolar complications such as bone loss or displacement of dental germs or teeth.
