Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is
unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury
or hormonal factors. It predominantly occurs in the second decade of life in young females, possibly because of the vascular
effects of female hormones. Pyogenic granuloma consists of capillary proliferations, venules and fibromyxoid stroma. The
development occurs in three stages and bleeding is a common symptoms. Clinically oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or
lobulated Exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, which
is usually hemorrhagic. Treatment plan includes several methods such as surgical intervention or laser treatment, but also more
conservative approaches, including the application of topical systemic agents. In our case we managed the case with electro
cauterization to see the efficacy of that treatment and post-operative recurrence.
