Pyogenic Granuloma - Hyperplastic Lesion in Gingival Tissue: A Case Report

Abstract
Reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue caused by local irritants is known as pyogenic
granuloma. It is a tumor-like development of the oral cavity that is thought to be neoplastic
in nature. It is often found around the anterior teeth or skin. It usually occurs as a result of a
variety of stressors, including low-grade local irritation, severe damage, hormonal factors,
or certain medications. Histologically, the surface epithelium may display foci of ulcerations,
and hyperkeratosis, or may remain intact. It sits on top of a thick connective tissue
mass that contains a substantial proportion of fully grown collagen. The most often
impacted area is the gingiva, which is followed by the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa.
Pyogenic granuloma generally does not develop when the base and its contributing
variables are removed. This paper presents some cases of a pyogenic granuloma managed
by surgical intervention.
