Shaila Sidam, A. K. Jain

Abstract :

Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissue(1) in response to local irritation or trauma or hormonal factors. The name of pyogenic granuloma is misleading because it is not a true granuloma. It is actually a capillary hemangioma of lobular subtype due to which it often bleeds.(4) The growth is seen in young adults, it may occur at any age, especially in individual with poor oral hygiene. Female are more susceptible than males because of hormonal changes during puberty , pregnancy and menopause.(4) This case report describes a pyogenic granuloma in a male patient discussing the clinical feature, histopathological finding and its management.
