Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This tumor-like lesion appears in response to various stimuli such as chronic low-grade local irritation and traumatic injury, as well as in pregnant women and in women taking oral contraceptives. Pyogenic granuloma usually present as smooth or lobulated red-to-purple mass that may be either pedunculated or sessile. Granuloma varies in size from a few millimetres to several centimetres. Here, we report a case of Pyogenic granuloma in the palate of a 35 years old woman which is very rare location for this lesion.
