Peripheral giant cell granuloma: three case reports.

Three cases of peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) with histopathological and long-term evaluations are presented. In all the cases that were all female and ages ranged between 5.5 to- 12 years, after complete surgical excision of the lesion no recurrence was detected during a follow-up period of 2 to 4 years. Although etiological factors could not be determined exactly, low socioeconomic status of the patients and unfavorable oral hygiene seemed to be the predisposing factors.
