| Summary: | Pyogenic granuloma is thought to represent an exuberant tissue
response to a local irritation or trauma. It is a reactional response to
constant minor trauma and it might be related to hormonal changes. Clinically, these lesions usually present as single nodules or sessile papules with smooth or lobulated surfaces. These may be seen
in any size, from a few millimetres to several centimetres. Pyogenic
granuloma of the oral cavity is known to involve the gingiva more
commonly (75% of all the cases). An extragingival occurrence of
pyogenic granuloma is rare. This paper has described an extragingival pyogenic granuloma which occurred on the upper labial
mucosa in a 30 years old female patient. |
