ABSTRACT
An oral pyogenic granuloma is a hyperplastic inflammatory lesion commonly associated to local irritation or trauma. Females are more affected than men probably due to the vascular effects of hormones that occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. In pregnancy, the lesions are known as “pregnancy tumor” and tend to occur the more frequently during the second and third trimester. In the oral cavity, histopathological examination is required for diagnosis, since the lesion is clinically indistinguishable from other reactive lesions and, usually, there is no evidence of bone involvement. We present two cases of pregnancy tumor highlighting the need for proper management that occurred in the maxillary gingiva of a 27-year-old and 28-year-old female in the second trimester of pregnancy which was excised after parturition due to its persistence.
