ABSTRACT Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive lesion. It usually arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors, or certain kinds of drugs hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants. Gingiva is the most common site affected followed by buccal mucosa, tongue and lips. It is a tumourlike growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth Histologically, the surface epithelium may be intact, or may show foci of ulcerations or even exhibiting hyperkeratosis. Pyogenic granuloma should be excised along with the base and its causative factors. This paper presents a case of a pyogenic granuloma managed by surgical intervention.

Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants. It is a tumourlike growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or skin that is considered to be neoplastic in nature. It usually arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors, or certain kinds of drugs. Histologically, the surface epithelium may be intact, or may show foci of ulcerations or even exhibiting hyperkeratosis. It overlies a mass of dense connective tissue composed of significant amounts of mature collagen. Gingiva is the most common site affected followed by buccal mucosa, tongue and lips. Pyogenic granuloma in general, does not occur when excised along with the base and its causative factors. This paper presents some cases of a pyogenic granuloma managed by surgical intervention.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. Clinically, oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, which is usually hemorrhagic. The surface ranges from pink to red to purple, depending on the age of the lesion Conservative surgical excision is usually curative but recurrence is not unusual. Lasers and cryotherapy may also be employed.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low- grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. The clinical diagnosis of such lesion can be quite challenging because of its close resemblance to certain malignancies like peripheral giant cell granuloma, kaposi’s sarcoma, non hodgkin’s lymphoma etc. for excisional biopsy, options available are conventional surgical excision, electrocautery or lasers. In this report, we seek to highlight the therapeutic advantages achieved with a soft tissue diode laser in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low- grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. Clinically, oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, which is usually hemorrhagic. The surface ranges from pink to red to purple, depending on the age of the lesion. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, especially during pregnancy, and necessity for proper diagnosis and treatment, a complete information and investigations about this lesion, in addition its treatment is presented. The study emphasizes the clinical follow-up after the treatment of patients that present pyogenic granuloma. Follow-up over 19 months of surgical procedures demonstrated the maintenance of a periodontal health decreases the chances of recurrence.Update Dent. Coll. j: 2015; 5 (1): 26-29

Granuloma Pyogenicum

Pyogenic granuloma is a vascularized non neoplastic lesion, in the oral cavity, caused by trauma, local irritants or hormonal factors, with a higher prevalence in women, present more frequently in the mandible than in the maxilla. It is not associated with pus as its name suggests and histologically it resembles an angiomatous lesion rather than a granulomatous lesion. It is known by a variety of names such as Crocker and Hartzell’s disease, granuloma pyogenicum, granuloma pediculatum benignum, benign vascular tumor and during pregnancy as granuloma gravidarum Treatment consists of removal of local irritant, if any followed by excisional biopsy. This clinical case report presents the clinical and histopathological characteristics of the large pyogenic granuloma in a 36-year-old female, who reported to the Department of Santosh Dental College, Ghaziabad. Intraoral examination revealed a lesion mainly non tender, sessile, soft in consistency and measuring approximately 16by 9 mm in diameter in the posterior side of maxillary first quadrant. Keeping in view the characteristics of the lesion, anamnesis and the literature, the pyogenic granuloma and giant cell granuloma were defined as diagnostic hypotheses. Excisional biopsy was done and specimen was sent for histopathological evaluation.

AbstractPyogenic Granuloma is a relatively common mucocutaneous lesion seen in the oral cavity, as a response to some underlying local irritant. This condition is frequently associated with periodontal pain and discomfort, and in some cases interferes with mastication and aesthetic problems.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. PG is predominantly seen in the second decade of life in young adult females. PGs generally are soft, painless, and deep red to reddish-purple in colour. It shows a striking predilection for the maxillary anterior area. Also, the majority of PGs are found on the marginal gingiva with only 15% of the tumours on the alveolar part. There are two kinds of PG namely lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH type) and non-LCH type, which manifest as distinct entities and differ in many aspects. Although excisional surgery is the treatment of choice for it, some other treatment protocols such as the use of Nd:YAG laser, flash lamp pulsed dye laser, cryosurgery, intralesional injection ofethanol or corticosteroid and sodium tetradecylsulfatesclerotherapy have been proposed. We hereby present a rare case report of lobular capillary hemangioma occurring in the maxillary posterior region. Also, contrary to its site specificity, it involved the attached gingiva and alveolar mucosa, thereby presenting a diagnostic dilemma. The various differences between the LCH and Non-LCH type PG are also discussed emphasising their different pathways of evolution.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. The term is a misnomer because it is not related to infection and arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, or hormonal factors. It is most commonly seen in females in their second decade of life due to vascular effects of hormones. Although excisional surgery is the treatment of choice for it, this paper presents the safest and most minimally invasive procedure for the regression of pyogenic granuloma.

Pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer, as in reality it arises in response to various irritating factors such as low-grade local irritation or hormonal factors, traumatic injury as well as presented as inflammatory hyperplasia that is not related to infection. Oral pyogenic granuloma is a lobulated or smooth exophytic lesion with pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, haemorrhagic in tendency. Although excisional surgery is the treatment of choice for it, some other treatment protocols such as laser therapy, sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol, cryotherapy and steroid therapy have also been proposed. Here, Authors present a case series of gingival as well as extra gingival pyogenic granulomas which were diagnosed and treated by various therapies i.e., surgical excision, Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser therapy and sclerotherapy. Regression period of lesion with different therapies was evaluated in detail. Maximum patients were female in the age group of 26-50 years in present case series. Almost all cases of pyogenic granuloma had typical clinical characteristic without bony alteration. Amongst all therapies sclerotherapy had the biggest advantage of less regression period for any case of pyogenic granuloma i.e., 7-8 days only.
