Abstract :

Exophytic gingival lesions represent some of the more frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity. Some of these lesions are reactive in nature. Pyogenic granuloma is relatively common benign mucocutaneous lesion occurring intraorally or extra orally. The name for pyogenic granuloma is misleading because it is not a true granuloma. Actually, it is a capillary hemangioma of lobular subtype which is the reason they are often quite prone to bleeding. The growth is typically seen in young adults, though it may occur in any age, especially in individuals with poor oral hygiene although contributing factors include trauma, inflammation and infectious agent. Treatment is surgical excision to exclude angiomatous proliferation. The purpose of this article is to describe a case of pyogenic granuloma.
