Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is one of the inflammatory reactive hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. It is a relatively common mucocutaneous lesion seen in the oral cavity. It is predominantly seen in young females. Soft tissue enlargements of the oral cavity often represent a diagnostic challenge, because a diverse group of pathologic processes can produce such lesions. An enlargement may represent a variation of normal anatomic structures, inflammation, developmental anomalies, cyst and neoplasm. Here, we report an exceptional case of PG of unknown etiology in 8-year-old male child patient in alveolar crest associated with bone resorption and displacement of tooth bud.
