Pyogenic granuloma, pregnancy granulomas or pregnancy tumors are single, tumor-like, soft tissue growths typically seen on the gums region between teeth and they rarely destroy the bone. They are attached via a stem with intense red to deep purple color, depending on the blood supply of the lesion and the degree of blood stagnation.
Usually no larger than 2 cm, the granulomas are painless and may bleed readily if disturbed. They usually regress after delivery and are often related to poor oral hygiene. Furthermore pregnancy graunulomas are attributed to the general effects of progesterone and estrogen on the host immune system.

Pyogenic granuloma is a common, benign growth that appears as a small, red, bleeding bump on the skin or mucous membranes. It is caused by an overgrowth of blood vessels and can develop in response to minor trauma or hormonal changes. Treatment usually involves surgical removal or other minor procedures.

Necrotizing granuloma?
Necrotizing granuloma is a type of inflammation characterized by the presence of necrotic tissue within a granuloma. It is often associated with infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain types of vasculitis. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce inflammation.
What term is used to describe small knotlike swellings of granulation tissue in the epidermis?
The term used to describe small knotlike swellings of granulation tissue in the epidermis is "papilloma." These are typically benign and can be caused by various factors such as infections, irritations, or genetic factors. Treatment may involve removal if necessary for cosmetic or functional reasons.
Differences between granuloma and granulation tissue?
Granulation tissue is characterised by the presence of new blood vessels, fibroblasts and mononuclear cells in an edemateous extracellular matrix. A granuloma is a specific form of chronic inflammation characterised by the prescence of epitheloid macrophages and giant cells (either foreign body giant cells or Langerhaan giant cells) surrounded by a collar of fibroblasts and lymphocytes. Central necrosis may or may not be present.
What is the treatment for granuloma?
Treatment for granuloma depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, observation is recommended as the granuloma may resolve on its own. If treatment is needed, options may include steroids, surgery to remove the granuloma, or medications to target the underlying infection or inflammatory condition. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Can pyogenic granuloma be treated without surgery?
. My nephew had a pyogenic granuloma on his finger which grew rather large and bled profusely. His doctor told him it would not go away without surgery. He lived with it for about two months [keeping it covered due to bleeding and to prevent infection.] Then all the sudden it began to shrink... within two weeks it disappeared. It has not grown back. .
Is pyogenic granuloma dangerous?
If you are otherwise healthy, a pyogenic granuloma in the mouth is not particularly dangerous. It is simply a localized area of acute inflammation in the gum tissue with highly vascular (lots of blood vessels) exuberant tissue growth as a defense mechanism. Once the source of the infection has been removed, the inflammation will be resolved. Sometimes a minor surgery needs to be performed to remove the benign tumor.
