Abstract

An essential diagnostic challenge often faced by oral physicians is diagnosing soft tissue enlargements of the oral cavity. The fundamental reason being there are a diverse group of pathologic processes that can produce such lesions. Any intra-oral enlargement seen may represent a variation of normal anatomic structures, developmental anomalies, inflammation, cysts or even a neoplasm. Confined to these are the group of reactive hyperplasias of the oral cavity, which develop in response to a chronic, recurring tissue injury that stimulates an exuberant or excessive tissue repair response. Pyogenic granuloma comes under as one of the most common entities responsible for causing soft tissue enlargements.
