Granuloma pyogenicum or Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. It is a tumour-like growth of the oral cavity, which usually arises in response to nonspecific infection, irritation, physical trauma or hormonal factors. The condition is frequently associated with periodontal pain and discomfort, in some cases interfering with mastication and creating esthetic problems. The condition is frequently associated with recurrence, and has more predilections towards females. We report a case of pyogenic granulomaof gingiva in 12 years old male.
