ABSTRACT

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign, localized mass of exuberant granulation tissue produced in response to various stimuli. It is a commonly due to constant minor trauma and might be related to hormonal changes. It is manifested as a sessile or pedunculated, resilient, erythematous, exophytic and painful papule or nodule with a smooth or lobulated surface that bleeds easily. The most common treatment is surgical excision.
