Peripheral giant cell lesion associated with a foreign object

A Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) belongs to a hyperplastic reactive entity originated from osteoclasts or phagocytic cells presents in the superficial periodontal ligament or gingiva, particularly in the interdental papilla.A PGCG is an entity appearing on females most frequently.Depending on its etiologic factors, its incidence in 1 to 10-year-old children is 9%.The lesions are asymptomatic nodules with a firm consistency, about 2 cm, with an ulcerated or bleeding erythematous surface, and a pedunculated or sessile base.We report the case of a 9-year-old girl associated with previous trauma who developed an increase in volume in the attached gingiva.The lesion was removed, and the histopathological characteristics were consistent with a GPCG.The relevance of this case is due to the multiple irritating factors on the gum, such as previous trauma and the accumulation of plant-like material in the area.
