Résumé
An inflammatory hyperplasia known as a pyogenic granuloma (PG) appears as a nodular growth on the oral mucosa. The most frequent place is the gingiva, followed by the buccal mucosa, tongue, and lips. Histologically, the surface epithelium may be hyperkeratotic, have ulceration foci, or be intact. It lies on the dense connective tissue that contains a sizable amount of fully developed collagen. Most of the pregnancies result in PG of the gingiva; for this reason, the phrases "Pregnancy Tumor" and "Granuloma Gravidarum" are frequently used. It typically occurs during the second and third months of pregnancy and tends to bleed, making it challenging to masticate. Estrogen increases the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) synthesis in macrophages, which is associated with PG development during pregnancy. This case describes a surgically treated case of PG in a middle-aged female with a conventional scalpel technique, giving functional and esthetic outcomes in a patient.
