Peripheral giant cell granuloma as a sign of hyperparathyroidism in a patient under hemodialysis: A case report and review of literature

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign reactive exophytic oral lesion that originates from the periosteum or the periodontal ligament. It exclusively develops on the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a possible etiology for its development. HPT is an endocrine diso...

Descripción
Sumario:Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign reactive exophytic oral lesion that originates from the periosteum or the periodontal ligament. It exclusively develops on the gingiva or alveolar mucosa. Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a possible etiology for its development. HPT is an endocrine disorder characterized by increased secretion of the parathyroid hormone (PTH). This case report describes a case of recurring PGCG in a patient diagnosed with secondary HPT after paraclinical assessment.
