Abstract

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign non-neoplastic mucocutaneous lesion. PG is manifested as a sessile or pedunculated, resilient, erythematous, exophytic and painful papule or nodule with a smooth or lobulated surface that bleeds easily. PG preferentially affects the gingiva, but may also occur on the lips, tongue, oral mucosa and palate. .This paper presents an unusual case report where pyogenic granuloma was present on the upper labial mucosa .Besides , the clinical presentation presents a platform to discuss some unusual differential diagnosis of PG like Squamous Papilloma, Mucocele with PG and Traumatic eosinophilic granuloma.
