A Common Oral Lesion in an Unusual Site – Pyogenic Granuloma Of Lip.

Dr. Hina Mathur, Dr. Arvind Shetti, Dr. Shivyogi Charantimath

Abstract :

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign non–neoplastic mucocutaneous lesion that occurs as a reactive inflammatory response to constant minor trauma and might be related to hormonal changes. Gingiva is its most common site of occurrence. When present extra–gingivally, it may mimic more serious lesions such as malignancies. Here we report a rare presentation of Pyogenic granuloma of lower lip with a discussion on the possible differential diagnosis that should be considered in such an unusual case and treatment modalities available for treatment of such lesions.
