Title : Management of peripheral giant cell granuloma in a medically compromised patient a case report
Abstract:
Oral cavity encounters a number of clinical growths which are usually asymptomatic and painless in nature .Majority of lesions are limited to the local site only and are easily managed by complete excision .However, some are aggressive in nature and invades the surrounding structures also. A typical example of such lesions is peripheral giant cell granuloma which is characterized by reactive response which is limited to periosteum, periodontal ligament and gingiva.It usually does not involve the bone but can cause esthetic deformities. It is often associated with poor oral hygiene, ill- fitting denture or trauma. There is predilection for females and occurrence can be at any age. Commonest location of site is edentulous ridge which may be associated with tooth extraction and etiopathogenesis is assumed to be due to osteoclasts that remain as remnants in the original site. Diagnosis is dependent upon both clinical evaluation and radiographic interpretation. However, final confirmation is to done by histo-pathological examination. Management involves surgical excision completely to avoid further reoccurrence which is nearly about 10 %. But presence of any medical condition can create complications during the treatment of this entity. The aim of this presntation is to present management of medically compromised patient with peripheral Giant cell granuloma. The lesion healed without any complication.
