Online published on 18 May, 2016. Abstract Peripheral giant cell granuloma is a relatively uncommon lesion of the oral cavity, arising mainly from the connective tissue of the gingiva, periodontal membrane, periosteum of alveolar ridge, or in response to local irritation. Initially, similar central lesions of the jaw were referred to as reparative lesions. Since the reparative response was quite rare, the term "peripheral giant cell granuloma" is currently preferred and universally accepted. These benign reactive lesions usually treated with surgical resection with extensive clearing of the base of the lesion and elimination of the local etiologic factor and the recurrence rate after local excision is around 10%. This case represents the occurrence of PGCG in young male patient in maxilla with its surgical resection and no recurrence.
