The peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is a benign hyperplastic gingival lesion of unknown aetiology occurring mostly in adults. A few cases have been described in children where a more aggressive clinical behaviour has been observed. In this paper, we report a case of PGCG localized in the anterior region of the maxilla of a 6-year-old boy which developed 6 months following a traumatic event. Early detection and treatment of PGCG is important to reduce possible dento-alveolar complications such as bone loss or displacement of dental germs or teeth.
外周巨细胞肉芽肿（PGCG）是一种病因不明的良性增生性牙龈病变，多见于成年人。儿童中也有少数病例报道，其临床行为更为侵袭性。本文报告一例6岁男孩上颌前部局限性PGCG病例，该病例在一次创伤事件6个月后出现。PGCG的早期发现和治疗对于减少可能的牙牙槽并发症，如骨质流失、牙胚或牙齿移位非常重要。
