Abstract
Reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue caused by local irritants is known as pyogenic granuloma. It is a tumor-like development of the oral cavity that is thought to be neoplastic in nature. It is typically found around the skin or anterior teeth. Numerous stressors, such as intense injury, low-grade local discomfort, hormone fluctuations, or certain drugs, are commonly the cause of it. Histologically, the surface epithelium may show foci of ulcerations, hyperkeratosis, or even intact. It sits on top of a thick mass of connective tissue with a high concentration of fully grown collagen. The most often impacted area is the gingiva, which is followed by the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa. In general, pyogenic granuloma does not develop when the base and its contributing variables are removed.
