Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a painless pedunculated granulomatous lesion that develops on the skin and mucous membranes. PG in children is relatively rare. We herein report a case of PG of the maxillary median gingiva in a pediatric patient. The patient was a 6-year-old Japanese boy who presented with a painless mass with bleeding after exfoliation of the left upper deciduous central incisor. The lesion had undergone continuous, rapid growth for approximately 10 days. Intraoral findings revealed a painless, elastic, soft, and non-pedunculated mass, measuring 15 × 10 mm, in the left upper deciduous central incisor area. To differentiate it from malignancy, an excisional biopsy was performed on the patient under general anesthesia. Histological findings confirmed that the patient suffered from PG. At the time of writing this paper, the patient had been clinically followed up for the 18th month after the surgery, showing no signs of tumor recurrence.
