“…The etiological factors for pyogenic granuloma are injury to the gingiva, vigorous tooth brushing habits which may lead to repeated trauma to gingiva, prolong use of cyclosporin and improper occlusal interferences. [10][11][12]14 In this case local trauma due to habit of nail biting was the probable cause.…”

The gingiva, also known as the gums, is the pink-coloured keratinized mucosa that surrounds and protects the teeth. Gingival enlargement or gingival overgrowth, a common trait of gingival disease, is characterized by an increase in the size of gingiva. Irritation fibroma is an exophytic soft tissue mass in the oral mucosa. Indeed, it is not a real neoplasm, but a focal hyperplasia of fibrous connective tissue induced by local trauma or chronic irritation. Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity, majority are found on the marginal gingiva with only 15% of the tumours on the alveolar part. It predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, male to female ratio is 1:99, and size of lesion varies in diameter from few millimetres to several centimetres. This article presents a case of pyogenic granuloma in an 6year old boy who presented with a gingival overgrowth in his mandibular left buccal surface region i.r.t 31 including marginal and attached gingiva. He had discomfort during mastication, interferes with occlusion there was episode of bleeding during brushing. The lesion was excised and histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis. Case was followed up for six months and no recurrence of the lesion. Etiological factors, clinical features, differential diagnosis and different treatment options are discussed based on the review of current literature available.

“…The chance of recurrence can be due to the remnant presence of causative factors, recurrent traumatic events, or neglected oral hygiene. 2 In the above case, follow-up was done for 6 months, and recurrence of the lesion was not observed.…”

“…Clinically this lesion represents a lobulated or smooth exophytic lesion with a sessile or pedunculated base. 2 High vascularity is seen among younger lesions of PG, while the older lesions are more collagenized and exhibit pinkish color. 6 The size usually ranges from 0.5 to 3 cm and may suddenly grow over weeks or months to subsequently remain indefinitely.…”

“…on the maxillary gingiva and commonly seen on the facial aspect rather than on the lingual aspect of the gingiva. 2 Besides gingival, it can also affect other sites like lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and palate. 8 The case presented here is of a female patient from the second decade of life and the lesion occurring in the maxillary facial gingival region.…”

“…1 Hullihen first reported it in 1844. 2 This lesion commonly occurs in the gingiva, whereas it rarely occurs extra-gingivally. 3 It is most frequently seen among people in the 20s, is uncommon in children and is more common among females than in males.…”

From the investigations, a provisional diagnosis of generalized marginal gingivitis, exfoliative mobility with respect to 54, and PG of gingival with respect to area teeth 54 and 55 was made.The differential diagnosis for this case was-irritational fibroma, peripheral giant cell granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, abscess of soft tissue, hemangioma, localized juvenile spongiotic, and gingival hyperplasia. Biopsy of the lesion along with histopathological examination gives us the final diagnosis.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular neoplasm seen in the first and second decades of life, and it has a female predilection. It presents as a small reddish exophytic lesion, gingiva being the most common site. This article describes an unusual presentation of PG in a one-year-old female child and highlights the importance of its early diagnosis and management to avoid discomfort and distress in these patients. The diagnosis was verified by histological examination, which revealed significant markers such as endothelial growth, vascular abundance, and chronic inflammatory cell infiltration. The chosen treatment protocol was surgical excision, which led to a successful outcome with no symptoms of recurrence, as confirmed by thorough follow-up examinations.
