Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and mucosa that is relatively common in the oral cavity. The exact pathogenesis of this condition remains obscure and a differential diagnosis is often complicated by rapid growth. We describe a 36-year-old woman at 9 months pregnant (Case 1) with an exophytic pedunculated mass on the tongue and a 24-year-old woman at 30 weeks pregnant (Case 2) with an exophytic mass on the lower lip. Both lesions were surgically resected and histopathologically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma.
