Pregnancy Tumor and Facial Port-Wine Stain: A Case Report

Pyogenic granuloma is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity that traditionally has been considered to be non-neoplastic in nature. the pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated mass that is usually pedunculated, although some lesions are sessile. pyogenic granuloma of the gingival is frequently developed in pregnant women, hence the terms pregnancy tumor and/ or granuloma gravidarum are often used. the pyogenic granuloma has been reported to be associated with port-wine stain particularly during pregnancy, and after trauma, or laser treatment. the pathogenesis of pyogenic granuloma is unclear. this report describes the presentation of a large pregnancy tumor in a patient with an isolated facial port-wine stain.
