Abstract :

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign lesion of vascular origin. It is a common benign growth seen in the skin and oral cavity and has a common tendency to reoccur. Multiple lesions from different nodules commonly seen in skin but very rarely seen in oral cavity. Aim: To identify the origin of lesion to prevent recurrence and treat accordingly to eliminate the source of infection, etiological factors and recurrence. We report a case of reoccurred pyogenic granuloma of the gingiva on the maxillary posterior region of the teeth which was treated by surgical excision followed by histo–pathological examination of the excised tissue to confirm the diagnosis. Conclusion: Both Simple excision or laser procedure are good methods but recurrence can be avoided by identifing the nodular emergence/origin and also by eliminating etiological factors
