“…Amazingly, PG has been described as a complication of cryosurgery on the vermillion border for a venous lake, and in other sites [11,12]. A hormonal role has also been postulated when PG occurs on the gingival surface during pregnancy or with the use of oral contraceptives [13]. In children, most occur within the first 5 years of life with a frequency that appears to decrease linearly with age [5].…”

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular neoplasm most often evident as a rapidly developing solitary, sessile, or polypoid vascular nodule or tumor prone to ulceration or hemorrhage. Bleeding may be episodic, copious, and refractory to pressure, mandating treatment, particularly when on the lip. We describe a 14-year-old adolescent with a PG of the lower lip that responded to carbon dioxide slush cryosurgery, an option that may be of considerable value in a resource-poor country (Adv Clin Exp Med 2014, 23, 1, 5-7).

“…Epulis gravidarum manum is another proposed term to describe this lesion. 1 Granuloma gravidarum usually appears in the first trimester and rapid growth accompanies the steady increase of circulating estrogens and progesterone. Management of granuloma gravidarum depends on the severity of the symptoms and signs.…”

“…Surgery should be recommended if bleeding or pain from the lesion impedes routine daily activities, 2 or after delivery, if the lesion has not regressed completely. 1,3,4 Clinical observation and regular follow-up appointments during pregnancy are advised if the lesion is small in size, painless and free of bleeding. 1,2 Pyogenic granuloma lesions have no malignant potential, but up to 15% may recur following excision.…”

We describe a case of a giant pyogenic granuloma affecting the left index finger of a 23-year-old pregnant lady requiring surgical excision. Pyogenic granuloma gravidarum is a benign hyperplastic lesion that commonly presents on oral mucosa, typically the gums, in approximately 5% of pregnant women. Skin lesions over the fingers are an unusual site during pregnancy with only a few cases reported in the literature. The lesion was excised and a diagnosis of lobular capillary haemangioma was made based on histopathological evaluation. We delayed surgery until after parturition since recurrence is likely to be lower due to lower levels of circulating oestrogen and progesterone. The prognosis is usually excellent following resection. However, recurrences have been reported regardless of the treatment method.
