Dr. Nagarathna PJ, Dr. Hema Suryawanshi, Dr. Nabila Naaz Sheikh

Abstract


Background:  Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign lesion of vascular origin. It is a common benign growth seen in the skin and oral cavity and has a common tendency to reoccur. Multiple lesions from different nodules commonly seen in skin but very rarely seen in oral cavity.

Aim: To identify the origin of lesion to prevent recurrence and  treat accordingly to eliminate the source of infection, etiological factors and recurrence. We report a case of reoccurred pyogenic granuloma of the gingiva on the maxillary posterior region of the teeth which was treated by surgical excision followed by histo-pathological examination of the excised tissue to confirm the diagnosis. Conclusion: Both Simple excision or laser procedure are good methods but recurrence can be avoided by identifing the nodular emergence/origin and also by eliminating etiological factors.


Keywords


multiple lesions, pyogenic granuloma, recurrence, warner–wilson jones syndrome.
