Central oral pulse granuloma: a case report of huge mandibular jaw lesion.

ABSTRACT

Oral pulse granuloma is a rare lesion of the oral cavity with unclear etiology. Some authors believe this lesion is a foreign body reaction to implanted food particles. In the oral cavity, most cases are found in the posterior regions of the mandible. The edentulous mandible was involved in 20 cases with oral pulse granuloma. In these cases, the premolar-molar site was the most common region. Here we present a case of a 70-year-old male with huge unilateral swelling of the mandible on the left side. This paper aims to present a case of oral pulse granuloma with wide extension, detailed clinicohistopathologic features with 2-year follow-up and a short review of reported cases.
