“…2 The first case was described by Hulliken in 1844 and the term PG or granuloma pyogenicum was given by Hartzell in 1904. 2,5 Histological types of PG are lobular and nonlobulated capillary hemangioma. 2 The course of the lesion can be described as early (pink lesion), established (color similar to normal mucosa), and healing type (pinkish to white).…”

Oral mucosa is one of the most common sites for reactive lesions as it is exposed to various internal and external stimuli. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) and peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF) are the most common reactive lesions associated with gingiva. Both lesions have similar clinical features and can be differentiated based on histopathology only. Pyogenic granuloma is a type of benign swelling and type of inflammatory hyperplasia that results in response to chronic irritation, trauma, and fluctuating hormones. Microscopically, ossification is a feature of POF and it is not seen in PG. This article aims to discuss the histopathology of PG in a young 18-year-old female patient, in which areas of ossification were seen that are not commonly encountered in this lesion.

“…Histologically, gingival fibromas comprise a fibrous stroma densely packed with collagen fibers. Hence, understanding the clinical, radiological, and histological features of pyogenic granuloma, peripheral ossifying fibroma, and gingival fibroma is crucial for making an accurate differential diagnosis in patients presenting with similar oral lesions [ 10 - 12 ].…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a common reactive oral lesion primarily found in the gingiva and rarely in extraction sockets. While it can develop at any age, it is more prevalent in the third and fourth decades of life with a higher occurrence in females. Various factors contribute to its development and surgical removal is the gold standard treatment; however, there are various other methods available. This case report documents a rare event in which a female patient in her early 40s presented with an exophytic lesion affecting the extraction socket of her maxillary right lateral incisor. The lesion was effectively removed through surgical excision. Additionally, it explores the clinical features and pathogenesis of this lesion. The purpose of this case report is to shed light on the uncommon incidence of pyogenic granuloma following tooth extraction. This non-neoplastic vascular growth often presents as an erythematous, ulcerated lesion with a tendency to bleed, with either a sessile or pedunculated base. Our case is one of only five instances documented in the literature, underscoring the importance of knowledge and timely response in such unusual circumstances. We emphasize the significance of early detection and management for improved patient outcomes and a better understanding of this rare condition.

“…The radiographic findings are typically absent, but in long standing gingival Pyogenic granuloma, localized alveolar bone resorption can be seen. 3 Marginal gingiva is the most common intraoral site to be affected by pyogenic granuloma but lesions have been reported on palate, buccal mucosa, tongue, and lips. The skin of face, neck, upper and lower extremities, and mucous membrane of nose and eyelids are also commonly involved extraoral sites.…”

The oral pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring tumor like reactive lesion that occurs as a response to different stimuli such as hormonal imbalances, low grade chronic irritation, trauma or certain type of drugs and oral contraceptives. It is frequently seen in the gingiva, and also lips, tongue and buccal mucosa are the other commonest sites. The present case reports a localized inflammatory hyperplasia of the maxillary gingiva of a 20-year-old male patient which was interfering with normal eating and brushing.
