Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign, rapidly growing vascular papule or polyp. The tumour is very vulnerable and bleeds easily after minor trauma. It can occur in the skin or mucosa and is typically localized within the gingiva, the lips, the mucosa of the nose and the face. It can occur at any age but is often seen on children and young adults. The diagnosis pyogenic granuloma is often straightforward, but several differential diagnoses should be considered, including malignant tumour.
