“…Pyogenic granuloma is a common, benign lesion of vascular origin. [ 1 2 ] This lesion is neither associated with pus nor histologically resembles a granuloma. [ 3 ] They occur at any age and are often stimulated by foreign objects such as calculus or a sharp margin of a restoration.…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring inflammatory hyperplasia involving the oral cavity. Surgical resection of the lesion is the mainstay treatment of pyogenic granuloma. However, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative infection, and recurrence chances are more with the surgical technique. Therefore, sclerotherapy has evolved as an effective alternative approach, which is simple, noninvasive, with minimal discomfort to the patient and having little recurrences and few complications. This case report is an attempt to highlight the usefulness of sclerotherapy procedure in the management of orogingival pyogenic granuloma, particularly involving the anterior esthetic zone of the oral cavity.

“…Hence, they were more prone for occurrence of pyogenic granuloma rather than children, but it can be seen in all age groups. 13,15 It can be differentiated from other lesions like haemangioma histologically as it showed proliferation of endothelial cells and lack of inflammatory cell infiltrate. 15 Peripheral odontogenic fibroma was seen absolutely on the gingiva but vascular competence was very minimal.…”

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 most common ways that PG manifests are from an ulceration, trauma, tiny wound, persistent irritation, or rough patches. Hormonal changes may also be connected to the onset of a gingival PG (puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy) [4] . The preferred course of treatment for these types of lesions is complete surgical excision with sub-periosteal curettage.…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular tumour found to occur in all ages. Both skin and mucous membranes can be affected. Its most common aetiology is trauma, local irritants, microorganisms, plaque and calculus, etc. Histologically, the surface epithelium may be intact or may show foci of ulcerations or even exhibit hyperkeratosis. Gingiva is the commonly affected site in the oral cavity followed by buccal mucosa, tongue, etc. We are reporting two cases of pyogenic granuloma in young adults one in an 18 years old female and the other one in a 21 years old Male, they have an unusual presentation in the right posterior side of the jaw that resembled a malignant lesion.
