Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma Associated with a Dental Implant: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Abstract: The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a nonneoplastic lesion commonly caused by local irritation. This report describes a 46-year-old Caucasian male who presented with a PGCG associated with a dental implant. The dental implant was originally placed in August 2012. Ten months later, the patient presented with a well-circumscribed lesion associated with and covering the implant, at which time the lesion was excised. Four months later, due to recurrence of the lesion, a deeper and wider excisional biopsy… Show more

“…The treatment of the PGCG involves the removal of irritating factors and, mainly, the surgical excision of the lesion, carefully curetting its edges and base, in order to reduce recurrences [10, 11, 25]. In the presented case, the patient was submitted to excisional biopsy of the lesion through its curettage with removal of the periosteum, periodontal ligament, and curettage of the teeth involved with vestibular access and there was no recurrence of the lesion.…”

“…It was originally called "pseudotumor" because of its expansive growth and radiological aspect similar to malignant tumors 2 . In 1994, The World Health Organization described IMT as an intermediary tumor of the soft tissue, composed of differentiated myofibroblasts, spindle cells and numerous inflammatory cells including plasma cells with or without lymphocytes 3 . IMT has no preference of age and may range from 1 to 70 years.…”
