Abstract
It is considered that the pyogenic granuloma is a frantic tissue reaction to local irritation or damage. These lesions usually appear as a single nodule or sessile papule with a smooth or lobulated surface. These are available in a range of sizes ranging from a few millimetres to many centimetres. Pyogenic granuloma of the oral cavity is said to affect the gingiva 75% of the time. It may appear extraterrestrially on occasion. We present a case of Pyogenic granuloma in a 22-year-old man's lower jaw, which is a common location for this lesion.
