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.
Granuloma annulare is a skin disease of unknown cause in which granulomas are found in the dermis of the skin, but it is not a true granuloma. Typically, a central zone of necrobiotic generation of collagen is seen, with surrounding inflammation and mucin deposition on pathology.
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 ...
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).
Clinically, there is no way to differentiate peripheral odontogenic fibroma from other common fibrous gingival lesions, [4] including peripheral giant cell lesion, pyogenic granuloma, inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, and peripheral ossifying fibroma. [5] Rarely have diffuse or multifocal lesions been reported.
Granulomatous mastitis can be divided into idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (also known as granular lobular mastitis [1]) and granulomatous mastitis occurring as a rare secondary complication of a great variety of other conditions such as tuberculosis and other infections, sarcoidosis and granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Planning for retirement is easier in some ways for married couples than it is for single adults. They have a partner who can help them save for the future and share the burden of household tasks.
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.
