Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. It arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury, or hormonal factors. It is most commonly seen in females in their second decade of life due to vascular effects of hormones. This paper presents an unusual form of pyogenic granuloma and its treatment.
