| Summary: | This report presents the case of a 44-year-old male patient who was referred for treatment due to a lesion on his tongue. Upon clinical examination, a nodular lesion with a fibroelastic consistency was identified. This lesion appeared pinkish-white with a pediculated base and was located on the anterior third of the lingual dorsum. The patient reported daily use of alcohol and hand-rolled tobacco for approximately six months and had no known systemic diseases. A preliminary diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma was established, and hematological tests were performed. Subsequently, an excisional biopsy was conducted. The histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis, aligning with the clinical hypothesis. The patient received guidance on the association between pyogenic granuloma and irritative factors and was instructed on proper brushing techniques. A follow-up was scheduled for six months. The patient has been under observation for two years without experiencing any relapses. It is evident that the biopsy, coupled with the removal of irritating factors, played a crucial role in controlling the pyogenic granuloma. |
