“…Some authors claimed that the condition was initially reported by Hullihen in 1844, and the term pyogenic granuloma was established by Hertzel in 1904. Others claimed that Poncet and Dor originally reported the condition in 1897 as botryomycosis hominis, as they had suspected a fungal cause, while Crocker later introduced the term pyogenic granuloma in 1903 [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 11 ]. Hence, disagreement in the literature concerning PG's first report and nomenclature exists.…”

“…Clinically, PG usually manifests as a solitary, soft, exophytic, painless, pinkish-to-red mass with a pedunculated or sessile base that can be easily injured, causing bleeding [ 3 , 14 ]. However, in our clinical case, it was pinkish to red in color with a rubbery base.…”

“…The standard treatment of oral PG is conservative surgical removal and elimination of etiological factors. Various surgical modalities have been used to excise oral PG [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 9 ]. During conventional scalpel blade surgery, PG may bleed easily and abundantly due to its high vascularity.…”

“…Various surgical modalities have been used to excise oral PG. Cryosurgery, cauterization with silver nitrate, sclerotherapy, injection of absolute ethanol, sodium tetradecyl sulfate and corticosteroids, and neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) and CO2 laser, as well as laser photocoagulation, have all been proposed as treatment options [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 , 9 ].…”

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common reactive oral lesion predominantly involving the gingiva and rarely occurring on the dorsum of the tongue. It can develop at any age but more commonly in the second decade with a female predilection. Numerous factors are associated with its development, and surgical removal is the standard treatment. Various surgical modalities have been used to excise it. Herein, we report a case of a female patient in her late 60s who presented with an exophytic lesion involving the dorsum of the tongue, which was excised using a 940 nm diode laser. In addition, it discusses the advantages of diode laser as a surgical modality and describes this lesion's clinical features and pathogenesis.

Pyogenic granulomas represent tumor-like lesions affecting the skin and the oral cavity. This classic definition can be somewhat misleading because such lesion is not associated with infection and lacks any clinical evidence of pus or histological evidence of actual granulation tissue. This case report describes a surgical excision of the growth to exclude angiomatous proliferation. The patient reported a chief complaint of localized gingival overgrowth since 4 months. Intraoral examination revealed an irregular, sessile exuberant growth in respect to labial aspect and interdental gingiva of 31, 32, and 33, measuring about 1.6 × 1.1 cm. Based on the clinical findings, the case was provisionally diagnosed as “pyogenic granuloma“. A treatment was planned for the patient. A surgical excision was done irt 31, 32, 33, and the tissue was sent for histopathological examination, which was suggestive of a healing type of pyogenic granuloma.

Aim The aim of this case report is to present a case of rapidly growing large pregnancy tumor which did not regress even after parturition. Introduction Pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring benign inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and oral mucosa. It usually arises in response to nonspecific infection as sessile or pedunculated, erythematous, exophytic papule or nodule with a smooth or lobulated surface that bleeds easily. Pyogenic granuloma occurring during the pregnancy is called as pregnancy tumor. Case report In this case report, a rapidly growing pregnancy tumor in a 23-year-old female is described and the clinical features, histopathologic features and management of the lesion are discussed. Pregnancy tumor rarely reaches 2 cm in size, however in our case the lesion had enlarged to an extent that it was interfering with occlusion (3 × 2 cm). Even after parturition the enlargement showed no regression in size, so the lesion was surgically excised. Conclusion Lack of awareness among pregnant patients about oral health care during pregnancy results in occurrence of various oral lesions which challenges the dentist and gynecologist in providing proper treatment. Hence creating oral health care awareness among such patients is of utmost importance. Clinical significance The prenatal oral health check-up and counselling is important in preventing the occurrence of various oral lesions during pregnancy.
