Abstract:
Pyogenic granuloma is not an uncommon oral cavity lesion and is a benign soft tissue tumor arising from the connective tissue of the skin or mucous membrane. We have reported a pedunculated tumor on the junctional area of the left side of upper lip and buccal mucosa which was developed without any history of trauma and clinically it was composed with condyloma acuminatum. Histopathological findings showed many newly formed blood vessels with marked endothelial swelling and collarette formation of rete ridges of epidermis. The lesion was completely subsided after surgical excision.
