Abstract

Background: Pyogenic granuloma is a kind of inflammatory hyperplasia in response to chronic irritation. Pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer since neither it is due to bacterial infection nor does it produce any pus. Also, histopathologically there is no granuloma formation. In general, pyogenic granuloma is treated by surgical excision. Here, we describe a case of pyogenic granuloma of the tongue, include a related literature regarding possible causes, sites, differential diagnosis, biopsy findings and its treatment. Case presentation: A 10-year-old child developed swelling at the lateral side of the tongue one month after dental procedure. By examination, it was soft with a smooth surface. The mass was excised using coblation system without recurrence till six months. Conclusions: Dental procedure may induce trauma to the tongue and act as an initiating factor for formation of pyogenic granuloma. Histopathological examination is a corner stone for the definitive diagnosis. Lesion Excision is the main treatment.

10岁儿童舌部化脓性肉芽肿1例

背景:化脓性肉芽肿是对慢性刺激的一种炎性增生。化脓性肉芽肿是一个误称，因为它既不是由于细菌感染，也不产生任何脓液。组织病理学上未见肉芽肿形成。一般来说，化脓性肉芽肿的治疗方法是手术切除。在这里，我们描述一个化脓性肉芽肿的舌头，包括有关文献可能的原因，部位，鉴别诊断，活检结果和治疗。病例介绍:一名十岁儿童在牙科手术后一个月出现舌侧肿胀。经检查，它柔软，表面光滑。采用消融系统切除肿物，6个月无复发。结论:牙科手术可能引起舌部创伤，并成为化脓性肉芽肿形成的起始因素。组织病理学检查是明确诊断的基石。病变切除是主要的治疗方法。
