Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma or granuloma pyogenicum of oral cavity is a benign non-neoplastic mucocutaneous lesion evolving in response to local irritation, its a fairly common lesion comprising approximately 1.8% of a large series of oral biopsies. A clinically and histologically similar lesion restricted to gingiva occurs in 0.5% to 2.7% of pregnant females and is called granuloma gravidarum or “pregnancy tumor”.1,2 The unusual location of a pyogenic granuloma on midline of dorsum of the tongue in a pregnant patient prompted this case report.

Keywords: Midline, Pyogenic granuloma, Tongue.
