Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma is a commonly occurring inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and oral mucosa in females. It is a misnomer that is characterized histologically by angiomatous proliferation rather than a granulomatous lesion. This tumorlike growth is considered to be nonneoplastic in nature and has a varied clinical presentation. We present one such case of pyogenic granuloma, which was excised with diode laser along with relevant review of literature.
