Pyogenic granuloma was first described in 1897 by two French surgeons, Poncet and Dor, who named this lesion botryomycosis hominis. Pyogenic granulomas and hemangiomas of the oral cavity are well-known benign lesions. Although, pyogenic granuloma is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva and capillary hemangioma for lips, cheek and tongue, palatal occurrence of these lesions is extremely rare. The clinical diagnosis of such an uncommon occurrence can be quite challenging, as they sometimes may mimic more serious lesions such as malignancies. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of benign tumor occurring on hard palate, which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma and histopathologically as capillary hemangioma. The treatment options available are conventional surgical excision; electrocautery and lasers-erbium or diode. This article highlights the use of 940 nm diode laser in surgical excision of oral pyogenic granuloma enumerating its advantages over the conventional available treatment options.

“…The size of the lesion usually ranges between 0.5 cm-2.5 cm, and they may grow at an alarming rate within weeks or months and remaining indefi nitely thereafter. 5 The pathogenesis of PG at molecular level may be considered as the imbalance of angiogenesis enhancers and inhibitors. 1 There is over production of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) and decreased amounts of angiostatin, thrombospondin-1 and estrogen receptors leading to formation of PG.…”

“…Gingival irritation and inflammation that result from poor oral hygiene, dental plaque and calculus or over hanging margins restorations may be precipitating factors in many cases [6,19]. Pyogenic granulomas of head and neck are uncommonly seen extra gingivally in areas of frequent trauma such as the lower lip, tongue and palate [6,17].…”

Exophytic gingival lesions represent some of the more frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity.Some of these lesions are reactive in nature. Pyogenic granuloma is a relatively common benign mucocutaneous lesion occurring intra orally or extra orally. The exact etiopathogenesis remains unknown, although contributory factors include trauma, inflammation and infectious agents. Intraoral lesions are sometimes associated with pregnancy. Typically, pyogenic granuloma presents as an exuberant, red painless mass that easily bleeds, ulcerates and grows rapidly and is frequently seen on the gingiva. Treatment is surgical excision to exclude angiomatous proliferation. The condition is frequently associated with recurrence, and has more predilections towards females. Here by, presenting a case of pyogenic granuloma in a 40 years old male patient.
