Abstract
The pyogenic granuloma frequently appears between the ages of eleven and forty years. It is a benign soft tissue lesion of inflammatory origin, which may be misdiagnosed as a neoplastic tumor due to its rapid development. Definitive diagnosis can only be made by histopathologic examination. Treatment is by conservative local excision. The present manuscript reports on the diagnosis and treatment of such a lesion, which caused significant maxillary bone loss in a twelve-year-old child.Entities:
