The most frequent non-neoplastic lesion on the gingiva/alveolar crest is Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG), also known as "Giant Cell Epulis." It is a local hyperplastic reaction to injury or inflammation. Clinically, it resembles pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and a variety of other oral cavity peripheral lesions. A purplish-red soft tissue nodule with multi-nucleated large cells is the most common symptom. This article reports a case of peripheral giant cell granuloma in a 36 years old female patient. The patient had reported with a chief complaint of swelling in the left lower back region of the jaw since 5 months. The lesion was removed and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma. The 12-month clinical follow-up revealed uneventful soft issue healing. Early and definitive identification, based on clinical, radiologic, and histopathologic assessment, is critical for conservative care of such lesions, reducing the risk of damage to nearby hard tissue structures.
