The name "pyogenic granuloma" is misleading, as it is neither pyogenic or a true granuloma. Rather, it is a capillary hemangioma of lobular subtype, which is why such a lesion is prone to bleeding. [5] It is also not truly pyogenic (pus-producing), as the cause is hormonal or traumatic and has no association with infection or pus production.
This type of epulis is neither pyogenic ("pus producing") nor a true granuloma, but it is a vascular lesion.About 75% of all pyogenic granulomas occur on the gingiva, [2] growing beneath the gingival margin, [8] although they may also occur elsewhere in the mouth or other parts of the body (where the term epulis is inappropriate).

Peripheral giant-cell granuloma (PGCG) is an oral pathologic condition that appears in the mouth as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation or trauma. Because of its overwhelming incidence on the gingiva, the condition is associated with two other diseases, pyogenic granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma. These three diseases are ...
Instead, the three are associated with each other because they appear frequently on gingiva: pyogenic granuloma and peripheral giant cell granuloma. Some researchers believe peripheral ossifying fibromas to be related to pyogenic fibromas and, in some instances, are the result of a pyogenic granuloma which has undergone fibrosis and calcification.
This lesion is more commonly found in female babies, suggesting hormonal involvement during embryonic development. The cause of this type of epulis is unknown. Also known as congenital granular cell tumor or Neumann's tumor; historically referred to as granular cell myoblastoma .

An infantile hemangioma (IH), sometimes called a strawberry mark due to appearance, is a type of benign vascular tumor or anomaly that affects babies. [1] [2] Other names include capillary hemangioma, [6] "strawberry hemangioma", [7]: 593 strawberry birthmark [8] and strawberry nevus. [6] and formerly known as a cavernous hemangioma.
