The pyogenic granuloma (PG) Also called lobular capillary hemangioma, is a prevalent tumorlike growth and vascular hyperplasia of the skin and mucous membranes. The condition arises in reaction to a chronic, recurring tissue injury that stimulates an exuberant or excessive tissue repair response. It can manifest at any age. The most common site is gingiva, extra gingival occurrence of PG is rare, although have been reported. Management of PG Depends on the area, size of lesion and patient preferences. However, the conservative surgical excision usually the curative treatment of PG. Alternative treatment modalities that have been employed include laser therapy, corticosteroid injections, cryosurgery, and sclerotherapy. In the case report has described an extra gingival PG which occurred on the lower lip in a 19-year-old female patient. The clinical and histopathological assessments confirmed the diagnosis of PG.
