“…Based on these results, it was concluded that the cells forming the peripheral giant cell granuloma might be potential targets for estrogens, and that the lesion might be influenced by hormonal conditions. In contrast, Shirani [2008] did a descriptive study in 20 patients to determine the relationship between PGCG and circulating levels of sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone) [20]. However, no significant association was found between PGCG and sex hormones, and it was concluded that PGCG does not directly depend on testosterone, estrogen, and progesterone.…”

The Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is an asymptomatic, non-neoplastic and proliferative lesion of unknown etiology. Some possible pre-disposing factors such as hormonal changes dur-ing pregnancy, have been suggested. However, the association between PGCG and pregnancy is controversial. There are few reported clinical cases of pregnancy-associated PGCG in the litera-ture, and they occurred only in the lower jaw. The present report is on a 35-year-old female pa-tient at 36 weeks of gestation who presented with a PGCG in the central and lateral incisors of the upper jaw. The management consisted of surgical excision, along with curettage of the affected bony walls. The diagnosis was based on clinical results and imaging examinations, and it was histopathologically confirmed. The patient underwent postoperative follow-up evaluations at 3, 6 and 12 months, and there were no signs of recurrence.
