AbstractThirty-eight cases of patients with histologically confirmed pyogenic granuloma of the oral cavity were treated at the University College Hospital Dental Centre during the period 1982-1993. The age of the patients at presentation ranged from 5 to 74 years (mean 33) and the male:female ratio was 1:1.2. The main site was the gingiva (n-29, 74%). The clinical presentation was generally similar to that in other studies except that most of the lesions were large. All 38 cases were treated by excision and there were no recurrences among those with adequate follow-up.
