Pyogenic granuloma is an acquired, benign, common, non-neoplastic, and vascular reactive lesion, occurring in

the oral cavity. It is a localized granulation tissue overgrowth symbolizing an exuberant tissue reaction to a trauma

or local irritation. Regardless the name, the condition is not accompanied with pus discharge or formation of

granuloma; therefore, the term “pyogenic granuloma” is a misnomer. It shows a striking predilection for gingiva

though it may occur extragingivally on the tongue, lips, buccal mucosa, or palate. Herein, we describes a case

report of pyogenic granuloma at an uncommon location on the upper lip in a male patient aged 40 years.
