OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tuberculous spondylitis with pyogenic spondylitis. METHODS MR images of the spines of 41 patients with infectious spondylitis at our institution over 8-years of period were retrospectively reviewed. Eighteen patients with infective spondylitis were excluded because their results on the marrow biopsy an...

pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a well-known benign non-neoplastic overgrowth. it is a response to mild irritation and might be related to hormonal factors and certain kinds of drugs. pg preferentially affects the gingiva, but can be found extragingivally with varying clinical features. the most common treatment is surgical excision. this article describes a case of extragingival pg occurring on the...

Pyogenic wound infections are one of the most common clinical entities caused and aggravated by the invasion of pathogenic organisms. Prompt and aggressive antimicrobial therapy is needed to reduce the burden and complications associated with these infections. In this study, we intended to investigate the common pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns from the pyogenic wound i...

INTRODUCTION The development of various benign oral mucosal lesions associated with dental implants, such as pyogenic granuloma or peripheral giant cell granuloma, has been rarely reported. However, the occurrence of vascular diseases, such as hemangioma, related to dental implants has not been explored in the literature. In this study, we report a case of co-development of pyogenic granuloma a...

pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a reactive inflammatory hyperplastic oral lesion in response to local irritants. it is the most commonly occurring and a well-known oral lesion by oral physicians that most commonly affects gingiva, followed by lips, buccal mucosa, palate and tongue. “pyogenic granuloma” term itself is a misnomer. this article presents a report of 2 cases of pyogenic granuloma of ...

pregnancy tumor is a benign, hyperplastic lesion of the gingiva, considered to be reactive or traumatic rather than neoplastic in nature. the term pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer as it is not filled with pus or granulomatous tissue histologically. it is multi factorial in nature, which shows an exaggerated response to stimuli such as low grade or chronic irritation, trauma or hormonal variatio...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. it is a reactional response to minor trauma or chronic irritation. the most common treatment of pg is surgical excision but alternative approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed especially for pediatric patients. case report: herein, we present a case of gingival pyogenic granul...
