The late development of oral pyogenic granuloma as a complication of pregnancy: a case report.
An oral pyogenic granuloma can develop during or just after the first trimester of pregnancy. Usually, an oral pyogenic granuloma is an early, slow-growing mass that, on excision, does not leave a large defect in the periodontium that requires surgical repair. This article presents an unusual case of a very late, rapidly growing, large tumor that developed as a complication of pregnancy and an undiagnosed isolated area of periodontal disease.
