Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia of the skin and oral mucosa. His etiological factor is multifactorial, and it is usually associated with a reaction factor, due to repetitive insults, microtrauma and local chronic irritation, and also has a correlation with hormonal disorders. The gingiva is the predominant site, followed by the lips, tongue, oral mucosa and hard palate. They generally have the following characteristics: smooth, painless, from intense red to reddish purple. It occurs in a wide age group from 4 to 93 years, with a higher incidence in the second and fifth decades and women are slightly more affected than men. The treatment of choice consists of removing the associated irritant or completely removing the lesion. Therefore, the objective of our work is to describe the report of 4 clinical cases of pyogenic granuloma, as well as to discuss the different clinical manifestations and the appropriate treatment of this lesion.
