Abstract:Giant cell granulomas (GCG) are rare tumors affecting the head and neck region and other sites of the body. Their occurrence in the hard palate is highly uncommon. We present the case of a 15-year-old female patient who presented with a hard palate mass that was confirmed to be a GCG following surgical excision. A review of all cases of GCG in the hard palate reported in the literature till date is presented with an update on differential diagnosis and treatment modalities.ARTICLE HISTORY
