A Case of an Isolated Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma in the Parotid Gland

Peripheral giant cell granuloma (PGCG) is an benign non-neoplastic lesion most commonly occurring in oral cavity but extraoral PGCG is extremely rare. Recently, we experienced a case of an isolated PGCG in the parotid gland in 59-year-old man. FNAB findings and radiologic findings including CT and US were suggestive of Warthin’s tumor. Partial parotidectomy was performed. Pathologic findings showed fibrillar connective tissue stro-ma with spindled, ovoid, and round histiocytes-like cells mixed with uneven multinuclear giant cells, small capil-laries, hemorrhage, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and necrosis which we
