ABSTRACT
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 the pregnancy, the lesions are known as "pregnancy tumor" and tend to occur 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. The authors report a rare case of pyogenic granuloma with destruction of alveolar bone mimicking a malignant tumor in a 20-year-old woman in the 19th week of pregnancy.
RESUMEN
El granuloma piógeno oral es una lesión hiperplásica inflamatoria asociada a la presencia de irritación local o trauma. Las mujeres son más afectadas que los hombres, probablemente debido a los efectos vasculares de las hormonas que se producen durante la pubertad, el embarazo y la menopausia. En el embarazo, las lesiones se conocen como "tumor del embarazo" y tienden a ocurrir con más frecuencia durante el segundo y tercer trimestres. En la cavidad oral, el examen histopatológico es necesario para el diagnóstico, ya que la lesión es clínicamente indistinguible de otras lesiones reactivas y, por lo general, no hay evidencia de afectación ósea. Los autores divulgan un caso raro de granuloma piógeno con la destrucción del hueso alveolar simulando un tumor maligno en una mujer de 20 años de edad, en la semana 19 de embarazo.
