Pyogenic granuloma of unusual size with alveolar resorption in a 75-year-old patient

Pyogenic Granuloma in an Unusual Site

External cervical resorption associated with traumatic occlusion and pyogenic granuloma.

This report describes a rare situation in which external cervical resorption was associated with gingival enlargement (pyogenic granuloma) in the upper left central incisor (tooth 21) in a 28-year-old man. Tissue from the lesion was examined histopathologically; periodontal, endodontic and restorative treatments were performed; and the occlusal disharmony, which had resulted in traumatic occlus...

Extragingival Pyogenic Granuloma: an Unusual Clinical Presentation

Pyogenic granuloma is thought to represent an exuberant tissue reaction to local irritation. It occurs in second decade of life in young females. Clinically, oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic growth, pedunculated or sessile, which usually bleeds on provocation. Oral pyogenic granuloma preferentially affects the gingiva. On rare occasion, it can be found extragingivally ...

Giant Pyogenic Granuloma in a Patient with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, is a common benign vascular proliferative lesion that can present at any age on the skin or mucous membranes. Most lesions do not exceed 2 cm, but there are a handful of giant cutaneous pyogenic granulomas that have been reported, often in individuals with underlying immune dysfunction. Here, we report the first giant pyogenic gran...

Voluminous gastric fibrosarcoma in a 75-year-old patient

Background Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, arising from the muscular layer. Revent immunohistochemical studies have shown that up to 94% of GISTs express 117, and 60–70% of GISTs stain for CD 34. GISTs account for 1% of all malignant tumors of gastrointestinal tract; they arise from stomach in the 40–60% of cases whereas they account only...
