CARDOSO, Camila Lopes et al. Recurrent peripheral of giant cell's lesion: case report. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.1, pp. 95-98. ISSN 1677-3888.

Peripheral giant cell lesion is a non-neoplastic proliferative process reactive to the local that has an irritation or a trauma. Presents as well-circumscribed lesion confined to the alveolar and gingival mucosa, may compromise the bone tissue adjacent causing tooth mobility. On histologic evaluation, the lesion is a noncapsulated mass of tissue containing a large number of young connective tissue cells and multinucleated giant cells in an architectural pattern of giant cells' focal nodules, separated by fibrous septa. Hemorrhage, hemosiderin, inflammatory cells, and newly formed bone or calcified material may also be seen throughout the cellular connective tissue. The association of large peripheral giant cell's lesions to oral or systemic factors is also unclear. The purpose of this work is to present a case of peripheral giant cell's lesion recurrence. The correct diagnosis and treatment culminated in a totally satisfactory result and complete resolution of the case, without recurrences. This paper presents a review on the current entity, and discusses the factors related to its etiology.
