Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. It usually arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors, or certain kinds of drugs. Clinically oral pyogenic granuloma is seen as a smooth exophytic lesion with usually hemorrhagic base. The surface presents from pink to red to purple. This case report describes a pyogenic granuloma in a 32-year-old female patient, discussing the clinical features and histopathologic features that distinguish this lesion from other similar oral mucosa lesions and also the successful management of the lesion.
