Abstract
The clinical and histopathological features of 224 new cases of peripheral giant cell granuloma were studied. In addition, the data from 956 previously reported cases in the literature were evaluated and compared with the present series. Females were found to be more commonly affected than males. All age groups were found to be affected with a relative predilection from 40 to 60 years of age. The mandible was more often affected than the maxilla. Clinically, the lesions were red in color, had a smooth surface and were rubbery or with a soft consistency. The most characteristic histologic features included a non-encapsulated highly cellular mass with abundant giant cells, inflammation, interstitial hemorrhage, hemosiderin deposits, mature bone or osteoid.
