| Abstract | Peripheral giant cell granuloma (GPCG) occurs exclusively in the oral cavity and originates from the periodontal ligament or the periosteum of the alveolar bone. Although the GPCG shows a tumor-like growth relatively common in the oral cavity, it is not a true neoplasm, but a benign reaction to injury caused by local irritation or trauma. This work aims to carry out a literature review on GPCG. This lesion appears more in females, with a higher incidence between the 4th and 6th decades of life, being more frequent in the posterior region of jaw. It usually presents as a pedunculated or sessile nodule in the gingiva or alveolar ridge. The color can be red or purple, and it may present an ulcerated surface. It has a strong growth potential, which generates resorption of the underlying bone to the lesion. The most indicated treatment is the surgical excision and curettage of the bone in order to avoid relapses. GPCG resembles the pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma, consequently classified as differential diagnosis. Since they do not have pathognomonic characteristics, the definitive diagnosis is elucidated with histopathological examination. Therefore, a correct anamnesis and clinical knowledge, along with radiographic and histopathological characteristics are indispensable factors to determine the correct diagnosis and successful treatment. In addition, the case must be analyzed frequently. Key-words: periodontal disease; peripheral giant cell lesion; differential diagnosis.
