Pyogenic Granuloma of Lower Lip: An Unusual Presentation

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign inflammatory hyperplasia of connective tissue. It depicts an overzealous tissue response to a known stimulus or injury and is commonly found in the gingiva, especially in the anterior maxilla, and rarely on lips, oral mucosa, and tongue. It is commonly seen during the second, third, and fourth decade in females, with predilection in the third decade. This case report depicts the unusual presentation of pyogenic granuloma of the lower lip in an 11-year-old male child following a positive history of trauma and lip biting, which was successfully managed by excision under local anesthesia.

Purpose. To discuss an unusual presentation of ocular toxocariasis.Methods. Case report.Results. A 40-year-old woman presented with decreased vision in the left eye with a long history of recurrent red eye from uveitis. Eosinophilia and positive ELISA titers forToxocara canisfavored the diagnosis of ocular toxocariasis. Over 3 months, an anterior scleral mass had a rapid growth raising the possibility of medulloepithelioma, which rarely can mimic uveitic syndromes. Surgical plan changed from local excision to enucleation. Histopathology demonstrated a large homogeneous mass of chronic inflammatory cells with inflammation of the overlying thinned out sclera, medial rectus insertion, and limbal cornea. The triad of peripheral granuloma, eosinophilia, and positive blood serology established the diagnosis of ocular toxocariasis.Conclusions. Ocular toxocariasis can mimic ocular malignancy such as medulloepithelioma in adults and rarely presents as an anterior scleral mass.

To present a case report of extragingival pyogenic granuloma on lower lip which is an uncommon site for pathological entity and also to emphasize the reason for its occurrence. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular neoplasm more often appear as lobulated or smooth red nodular lesion commonly in gingiva. Extragingival occurrence of PG is very rare. The present article reports a rare case of 55-year-old female with PG presenting rapid growing mass on the lower lip. This article highlights the possibility on the reason for its occurrence which is important for the diagnosis in this atypical location. The primary etiology of lower lip lesion is trauma and contributory factors being poor oral hygiene and betel quid chewing. Pyogenic granuloma is one of the common lesions in oral cavity. This article highlights the pyogenic granuloma on lip which is an unusual site. Although it can be diagnosed clinically, atypical presentations lead to inappropriate diagnosis. Therefore, further investigation by biopsy confirms final diagnosis upon which treatment is instituted.

Oral Soft Tissue

A 6-year-old girl was referred for assessment of an oral soft tissue swelling in the anterior maxilla. An asymptomatic, large, erythematous soft tissue mass developed on the alveolar ridge following the loss of the deciduous upper central incisor. Following excision of the lesion, a diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma was confirmed. This case demonstrates the unusual presentation of a pyogenic granuloma in a younger child. These lesions can arise as a reactive response to various stimulating factors and can grow rapidly. Management often involves excision but recurrence risk can be high. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dentists should not only be aware of the common oral soft tissue changes but should also familiarize themselves with lesions that can occur atypically in children.

Chorioangioma is the term used to describe an abnormal proliferation of vessels arising from chorionic tissue, which is most commonly observed in the third, and less frequently in the second trimester of pregnancy as a solitary nodule or, less commonly, as multiple nodules. We here report a case of placental chorioangioma which presented as a case of preterm labour. 21 year old primigravida presented to us at 26 weeks of gestation with history of PV leak and pain in abdomen. Ultrasound showed a single live foetus corresponding to 24-26 weeks of gestation with amniotic fluid index (AFI): 5 cm (oligohydramnios) there was evidence of 58×42 mm heterogeneously hypoechoic lesion noted over placenta likely s/o chorioangioma. Patient went into spontaneous preterm labour on day 5 and delivered vaginally. Placenta weighted 700 gm. A globular mass of size 6×7 cm was attached to foetal surface of placenta with a pedicle with confirmed the finding of ultrasonography. Placental chorioangioma is associated with high rates of perinatal complications. Most complications may appear early and delivery is problematic due to prematurity. Thus better prenatal investigations and regular follow up is required for early diagnosis and treatment.

Apple Peel Atresia

A 3 days old child presented with chief complaints of bilious vomiting and abdominal distention since few hours duration. Prenatal history revealed mother to be polyhydraminos and pregnancy induced hypertensive was on treatment with labetolol. Baby was a term, emergency lscs delivery. On examination baby was active, alert and with fair hydration. On per abdominal examination abdomen was distended and dilated bowel loops were seen. On per rectal wash pale jelly stools were expelled. Baby was taken up for emergency laprotomy and found to be having illeal atresia for which resection and anastamosis is done. Post operatively baby was doing well with satisfactory weight gain. Intestinal atresias are the major cause of intestinal obstruction in cases of neonates. They may be illeal or duodenal atresia. It is hypothesized to be occurring due intrauterine vascular assault and failure of recanalization. Babies present with vomiting and abdominal distention with mother having a positive history of polyhydraminos. On examination there will be abdominal distention with dilated bowel loops. X-rays would show dilated bowel loops and ultrasound shows decreased peristalisis in the bowel loops. Emergency laprotomy and surgical resection is the treatment of choice.
