title: [Oral pulse granuloma of the mandible- a case report].
abstract: The oral pulse granuloma represents a rare form of oral foreign body granulomas and results from encapsulation of particles of vegetable nutrition. Histologically, the oral pulse granuloma consists of multinucleated foreign body type giant cells, hyaline rings and chronic inflammation tissue. Intraosseous granulomas can be distinguished from extraosseous granulo- mas. Intraosseous granulomas are often asymptomatic, whereas the extraosseous type may be clinically apparent as an indolent swelling of the mucosa. Therapy consists of curettage or surgical excision. We report on the clinical, radiological and histopathological characteristics of an oral pulse granuloma in the mandible associated with an erupting tooth 46 of a seven-year-old boy, and the surgical management and follow-up.
