Pyogenic granuloma is a lesion characterized by excessive production of granulation tissue in response to trauma or chronic irritating stimulation. This pathological entity affects more often children and young adult females, being found mainly in the gum. Clinically, the lesions appear as smooth or lobulated red nodules with easy bleeding, occasionally ulcerated. The present work aims to report a case of pyogenic granuloma, emphasizing the clinical and pathologic features important for diagnosis.
