Pyogenic granuloma of buccal mucosa mimicking as traumatic fibroma in pregnancy
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Pyogenic Granuloma (PG) is one of the commonly occurring non neoplastic lesion in oral cavity. The most common site for occurrence is gingiva and occurrence at extragingival sites is rare. PG occurring extragingivally presents a diagnostic dilemma. The etiology for PG is multifactorial which includes low grade chronic irritation, hormonal imbalance, trauma and medications such as cyclosporine. PG has predilection to occur during pregnancy over the gingival region. This is due to the hormonal changes which reduce the healing capacity of keratinizing mucosa especially gingival. Therefore occurrence of extragingival PG in pregnancy without any gingival PG can lead to confusion in diagnosis. A case of PG mimicking a traumatic fibroma of extragingival site, buccal mucosa, in a 25 year old pregnant female is presented in this paper. The lesion was provisionally diagnosed as traumatic fibroma and was surgically removed using electro cautery. Histopathologically the lesion was reported as pyogenic granuloma. Post surgically the site was healed completely and during one month follow up there was no recurrence.
