Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign lesion of the oral cavity that presents as a solitary red or purple nodule. The routine treatment option for PG is excisional biopsy although the lesion may recur due to several factors such as residual tissue after excision or persistent etiologic factors. This case report presents a recurrent PG lesion in a 25-year old male with significant recurrence of swelling observed several months after excision. A combination procedure of excision and open flap debridement prevented further
