Pyogenic Granuloma

Pyogenic granulomas are pedunculated masses typically found on the gingiva of children, young adults, and pregnant women.

Pyogenic Granuloma (Lobular Capillary Hemangioma)

Benign , rapidly growing pedunculated/polypoid vascular lesion
Resembles exuberant granulation tissue histologically — NOT a true granuloma and NOT caused by infection (misnomer)
Common sites: gingiva, fingers, lips, oral mucosa
Associated with local trauma and pregnancy ( granuloma gravidarum )
Behaviour: can regress, fibrose, or mature into fibrous epulis/peripheral ossifying fibroma

Capillary hemangiomas presenting as rapidly growing red pedunculated lesions on skin, gingiva, or oral mucosa
Bleed easily; often ulcerated
Roughly a quarter follow trauma — reach 1–2 cm within weeks
Granuloma gravidarum — occurs in gingiva of ~1% of pregnant women; may regress after pregnancy or require excision
Treatment: curettage and cautery usually curative
