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).
The color ranges from red to bluish-purple, but is usually more blue in comparison to pyogenic granuloma. It can be sessile or pedunculated with the size usually being less than 2 cm. The lesion has a 60% gender predilection to females. The prevalence of the peripheral giant-cell granuloma is highest around 50 - 60 years of age.

Gingival enlargement has a multitude of causes. The most common is chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement, when the gingivae are soft and discolored. This is caused by tissue edema and infective cellular infiltration caused by prolonged exposure to bacterial plaque, and is treated with conventional periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing.
Krzysztof Wegrzyn is an 18 years old who lives with his parents in Grojec, Poland.. The young man was born with a rare benign tumor on his tongue called a hemangioma, which is endangering his life.
Granuloma; Picture of a granuloma (without necrosis) as seen through a microscope on a glass slide: The tissue on the slide is stained with two standard dyes (hematoxylin: blue, eosin: pink) to make it visible. The granuloma in this picture was found in a lymph node of a patient with a Mycobacterium avium infection. Specialty: Pathology
Necrotizing periodontal diseases are non-contagious infections but may occasionally occur in epidemic-like patterns due to shared risk factors. The milder form, necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (also termed "trench mouth"), [9] is characterized by painful, bleeding gums and ulceration and necrosis of the interdental papilla.
