AbstractReactive hyperplasia of connective tissue caused by local irritants is known as pyogenicgranuloma. It is a tumor-like development of the oral cavity that is thought to be neoplasticin nature. It is often found around the anterior teeth or skin. It usually occurs as a result of avariety of stressors, including low-grade local irritation, severe damage, hormonal factors,or certain medications. Histologically, the surface epithelium may display foci of ulcerations,and hyperkeratosis, or may remain intact. It sits on top of a thick connective tissuemass that contains a substantial proportion of fully grown collagen. The most oftenimpacted area is the gingiva, which is followed by the lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa.Pyogenic granuloma generally does not develop when the base and its contributingvariables are removed. This paper presents some cases of a pyogenic granuloma managedby surgical intervention.
