Oral Pyogenic Granuloma and its Management – A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pyogenic Granuloma are benign vascular lesions that occur most commonly on the acral skin and on the oral mucous membrane of children and young adults. The term pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer since it does not produce any purulent secretion, not related to any infection and does not even represent a granuloma histologically. Clinically it appears as pink to red coloured smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion on a pedunculated or sessile base which is usually hemorrhagic. Pyogenic granuloma is thought to occur in response to various stimuli such as low grade local irritation, traumatic injury or due to hormonal factors. Surgical excision with eradication of local irritants is the treatment of choice for it. Other protocol such as use of Nd:YAG laser, cryosurgery, intralesional injection of corticosteroids have been proposed. This article describes a case of pyogenic granuloma in a child 13 years of age.
