Pyogenic granuloma of lower lip - A rare case report

The pyogenic granuloma is a proliferative lesion of non-neoplastic nature. It has an unknown etiology, which is mainly characterized by the increased synthesis of the connective tissue due to trauma, local factors, or chronic irritating stimuli. These lesions are mostly encountered in young adult females and children. Pyogenic granulomas are found mostly on the anterior region of maxillary gingiva. These lesions are pinkish to red in color and pedunculated, which mostly bleed spontaneously on palpation.[1] In the present case report, the pyogenic granuloma is seen on the lower lip, which is not a very common site for this pathological entity. The emphasis in the present article was made on the clinical as well as the pathological features important for diagnosis.
