Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive hyperplasia of connective tissue in response to local irritants. It is a tumourlike growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or skin that is considered to be neoplastic in nature. It usually arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, hormonal factors, or certain kinds of drugs. ...

BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma is an excessive proliferation of granulation tissue that usually develops after minor trauma or surgery. Ocular involvement usually happens on the external surface and cornea is rarely involved. The objective of our report is to describe the clinicopathological feature of this rare disease and give insight on clinical features that help in the diagnosis. CASE REP...

We present a patient with ampullary pyogenic granuloma caused by spontaneous migration of a silicone lacrimal plug. A 43-year-old woman with severely dry eyes was treated with non-absorbable silicone punctal plugs insertion in both superior and inferior puncta. Irritation and purulent discharge gradually developed 3 weeks after implantation. A pink, fleshly ampullary lesion over the left superi...

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 repor...

Pyogenic granuloma is benign soft tissue tumor which mainly occurs in gingiva, lips, tongue and finger. We report the patient of pyogenic granuloma in the distal phalanx of the index finger of the rheumatoid patient. The tumor enlarged rapidly and surgical excision was performed. Pathological examination showed lobular hyperplasia of capillary vessels and the expression of vascular endothelial ...

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality, arises in response to various stimuli such as lowgrade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. The clinical diagnosis of such as lesion can be quite challenging because of its close resemblance to certain maligna...

There has been increasing interest in minimally invasive approaches to treat pyogenic granulomas. We report successful treatment of a pyogenic granuloma in a pediatric patient on a functionally and cosmetically sensitive area using the 1064nm Nd:YAG laser.

INTRODUCTION Pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma remains an etiopathological enigma, with trauma, inflammatory and infectious agents being the commonest suspected causative agents. These lesions affect mucous membranes of the upper aero-digestive tract, and skin. HIV patients diagnosed with pyogenic granuloma present with multiple lesions, caused by Bartonella spp. CASE PRESENT...

PURPOSE To measure the incidence and evaluate treatment of pyogenic granulomas after strabismus surgery. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Four hundred seventy-nine strabismus surgical patients. METHODS Incidence was determined by review of 472 consecutive patients who underwent strabismus surgery from January 6, 1999 to December 29, 2000. Outcomes were evaluate...

BACKGROUND Pregnancy tumor histologically coincides with oral pyogenic granuloma. It is a reactive hemorrhagic swelling that mostly occurs in gingiva of pregnant women and can cause some complications. Considering the lack of knowledge regarding its prevalence, this study aimed to determine the frequency and characteristics of pyogenic granuloma in pregnant women presenting to Tehran/Iran Medic...
