We report an extremely rare case of PGCG. Method: The case is discussed in light of the information in the literature. Results: A 30-year-old female patient admitted to our clinic with the complaints of painless swelling and gingival growth underwent total excision of an exophytic lesion causing purplish-red colored gingival growth found during clinical examination in the upper jaw in the region of right vestibular 1st molar tooth. Histopathological examination revealed PGCG. Conclusion: We wish to stress that effective treatment of PGCG requires not only complete excision of the lesion, but also elimination of irritating factors.
