  • Title: Extragingival pyogenic granuloma.
    Author: Patil K, Mahima VG, Lahari K.
    Journal: Indian J Dent Res; 2006; 17(4):199-202. PubMed ID: 17217217.
    Abstract:
    Pyogenic granuloma is a well-known localized granulation tissue overgrowth in reaction to mild irritation. Although it is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva, it can be found extragingivally with varying clinical features that sometimes may mimic more serious lesions such as malignancies. The clinical diagnosis of such an uncommon extragingival pyogenic granulomra can be quite challenging. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of extragingival pyogenic granuloma occurring on the lower lip, which presented as a cutaneous horn.
