BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma is a frequently diagnosed, benign vascular lesion. OBJECTIVES To present the use of the combined continuous-wave/pulsed carbon dioxide (CO2) laser as an innovative therapeutic method, to compare it with established methods, and to assess its results. DESIGN Prospective observational study between March 1998 and July 2000, comprising 1 treatment session with 6-w...

INTRODUCTION The development of various benign oral mucosal lesions associated with dental implants, such as pyogenic granuloma or peripheral giant cell granuloma, has been rarely reported. However, the occurrence of vascular diseases, such as hemangioma, related to dental implants has not been explored in the literature. In this study, we report a case of co-development of pyogenic granuloma a...

pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a well-known benign non-neoplastic overgrowth. it is a response to mild irritation and might be related to hormonal factors and certain kinds of drugs. pg preferentially affects the gingiva, but can be found extragingivally with varying clinical features. the most common treatment is surgical excision. this article describes a case of extragingival pg occurring on the...

A pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a rapidly growing benign vascular tumor that can be found on the skin or subcutaneous tissue. While some pyogenic granulomas may resolve spontaneously, most have a tendency to bleed easily and require treatment. Current therapeutic modalities include topical imiquimod, cryotherapy, electrodessication, curettage, excision, laser therapy, sclerotherapy, and microembol...

We report a unique pattern of multiple asymptomatic pyogenic granuloma found in the mucosa of the transverse colon, 4 cm distally to a colostomy site in a 2 year old boy with rectal aganglionosis. The peculiar lesion formed a group of exophytic, topographically-related masses up to 5 mm in height containing the proliferated capillaries. Endothelial markers (CD31, CD34, FVIII) were positive but ...

objective(s) the aim of this study was to evaluate the expressions of two angiogenic immune-markers (cd-31 and vegf), and one proliferative immune-marker (ki-67) in oral pyogenic granulomas (pg), hemangiomas (hem) and inflammatory gingivitis (ig). materials and methods sixty cases of pg, hem and ig (twenty cases each) were examined. immunohistochemical (ihc) staining was performed based on rout...

pregnancy tumor is a benign, hyperplastic lesion of the gingiva, considered to be reactive or traumatic rather than neoplastic in nature. the term pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer as it is not filled with pus or granulomatous tissue histologically. it is multi factorial in nature, which shows an exaggerated response to stimuli such as low grade or chronic irritation, trauma or hormonal variatio...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. it is a reactional response to minor trauma or chronic irritation. the most common treatment of pg is surgical excision but alternative approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed especially for pediatric patients. case report: herein, we present a case of gingival pyogenic granul...
