“…Cryosurgery, flash lamp pulsed dye laser, sclera therapy, excision by Nd YAG laser, injection of corticosteroid or ethanol are additional treatment modalities for pyogenic granuloma. 14 In the presented case the size of the lesion was moderate; therefore, surgical excision was carried out which is also a recommended treatment in the dental literature.…”

Soft-tissue growths of the oral cavity offer a diagnostic dilemma because of the pathologic processes produced by such lesions. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is one such soft-tissue swelling that originates from the reactive inflammatory course in which an exuberant fibrovascular expansile growth of the connective tissue of the skin or mucous membrane occurs. This case report documents a rare case in which the size and the site of the PG were different from the usual. The treatment included the extraction of the involved tooth in addition with the surgical removal of the lesion. The present case report demonstrates that the treatment of choice varies according to individual case after the adequate analysis of clinical and radiographic findings and should be managed appropriately to minimize further reoccurrence of the lesion and postsurgical complications.

“…Pyogenic granuloma, a benign vascular lesion is also called as lobular capillary hemangioma and occurs due to inflammatory hyperplasia of skin or mucosa. 6 Oral pyogenic granuloma is either pedunculated or sessile and can present with an appearance of smooth or lobulated surface. The lesion can occur at any age but is frequently seen in the third decade of life, with a predilection of 1.5:1 in favour of the females.…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic reactive growth commonly found in the oral cavity and skin. It is benign in origin and may arise due to factors like trauma, local minor irritation and an imbalance in the levels of hormones. Oral pyogenic granuloma occurs commonly in young females in second decade of their life possibly due to hormonal influences leading to changes in the vascular system. Oral pyogenic granuloma presents itself as a smooth or lobulated growth, mostly pedunculated but occasionally with a sessile growth. The colour of pyogenic granuloma may vary from pink, red and purple and this variation in colour is related to the age of the lesion.Clinically the most common site for oral pyogenic granuloma is gingiva, lips, tongue and buccal mucosa. This report presents a unique location for oral pyogenic granuloma at incisive papilla. Palatal pyogenic granuloma is rarely reported.

“…Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common vascular proliferation of the skin and mucous membranes . It is not pyogenic or granulomatous, and a reactive vascular response to trauma, female sex hormones, medications, infections or poor oral hygiene (in oral PG) seems to be implicated . PG is more prevalent in children, adolescents and pregnant women .…”
