Pyogenic Granuloma is a unique clinical
entity originating as response of tissues to non specific
infection, occurring most commonly in the gingiva, lips,
tongue and buccal mucosa. It is a tumor like growth
considered as an amplified, conditioned response to
minor trauma by the overproduction and proliferation
of vascular type of connective tissue. The clinical
diagnosis and differentiation of these lesions is at times
difficult. The purpose of this article is to report a case
of benign tumor occurring on hard palate of an 11 year
old female patient clinically diagnosed as oral pyogenic
granuloma. Excisional biopsy of the lesion revealed
findings suggestive of PG. This article intends to give a
comprehensive review of oral PG with its etiology,
etiopathogenesis, clinical features, multiple differential
diagnosis and treatment.
