An Uncommon Case of Pyogenic Granuloma- Buccal Mucosa of Male
Journal Title: Journal of Contemporary Medicine and Dentistry - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma, called so even though it is not associated with pus or a granuloma, is a benign, exuberant tissue growth which may present because of local irritation or trauma. The lesion may be clinically presenting as a single nodule, it may be pedunculated or sessile and its surface may be smooth or with lobules. In the oral cavity it is seen mainly in the gingiva but in some isolated cases it may present extragingivally. Here, we report a rare case report of pyogenic granuloma in the buccal mucosa of a 32 year old man which is not only a rare location for this lesion but also did not exhibit bleeding on probing on clinical examination, which is commonly seen with this lesion.
