Abstract(s)
A 11 year-old boy was referred to our department with a
chief complaint of a painless slow growing mass, localized to the
gums. The lesion was highly vascular, easily bleeding, at the level
of 2.1. In addition, the patient had poor oral hygiene, presenting
exuberant plaque and tartar.
We performed an excisional biopsy of the lesion and removed
the plaque and tartar; histology confirmed the clinical diagnosis
of pyogenic granuloma.
