Keywords:

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a Non neoplastic, inflammatory hyperplasia of skin and oral mucosa which is often caused by constant low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. It is most commonly seen on the gingival/Alveolar Crest. It is a benign reactive hyperplasia of the connective tissues. Another name suggested by various authors for Pyogenic Granuloma (PG) are Granuloma Gravidarum/ Pregnancy tumors, Rocker and Hartzell’s disease, Vascular epulis, Benign Vascular Tumors, Epulis Telangectium Granulomatousa and Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (LCH).These lesion are solitary and vascular.The exact pathology is unclear but trauma, infection and hormonal imbalance, food impaction are attributed as reasons for occurrence. The main treatment modalities of Pyogenic granuloma is surgical excision followed by curettage of the underlying lesion and elimination of all the irritating factor. In this article will discuss a short case suggestive of Pyogenic granuloma.
