The condition manifests as a small mucosal nodule and can be difficult to accurately identify since it resembles other lesions.

- Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign growth commonly found in the oral cavity, particularly on the lips, palate, and gums, and is often mistaken for an infection despite being a type of vessel growth.
- Though PG can recur, it is not cancerous and may cause discomfort depending on its location; accurate diagnosis is critical as it can resemble other conditions like hemangioma and melanoma.
- Treatment options include excision methods like scalpel, laser, and electrocautery; for a 45-year-old female, electrocautery was used, and PG was confirmed through clinical and histopathological analysis.

It might be required if there is space between the teeth due to a frenulum positioned too high on the gums.
