Gingival enlargement is a clinical condition that has been widely studied and is directly associated with specific local or systemic conditions. Pregnancy has been presented to increase susceptibility to gingival inflammation. Sex hormones are believed to be a risk factor for periodontitis because of their ability to proliferate specific periodontal microorganisms and affect host immunological response, but it is unclear whether pregnancy gingivitis exposes or proceeds to periodontitis. In this case report, the patient reported with severe localised enlarged gingival mass which initiated when she was pregnant. After parturition, gingival enlargement was persisting and causing functional and aesthetic problem. Enlargement did not resolve even after non-surgical therapy; therefore, surgical excision of the entire enlarged gingival mass was preformed. Histopathological examination revealed capillary haemangioma. No evidence of malignancy was seen. No recurrence was seen even after 2 years of follow-up.
