  • Title: The late development of oral pyogenic granuloma as a complication of pregnancy: a case report.
    Author: Silverstein LH, Burton CH, Garnick JJ, Singh BB.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 1996 Feb; 17(2):192-8; quiz 200. PubMed ID: 9051984.
    Abstract:
    An oral pyogenic granuloma can develop during or just after the first trimester of pregnancy. Usually, an oral pyogenic granuloma is an early, slow-growing mass that, on excision, does not leave a large defect in the periodontium that requires surgical repair. This article presents an unusual case of a very late, rapidly growing, large tumor that developed as a complication of pregnancy and an undiagnosed isolated area of periodontal disease.
