Pyogenic granuloma is a well-known localized granulation tissue overgrowth in reaction to mild irritation. Although it is known to show a striking predilection for the gingiva, it can be found extragingivally with varying clinical features that sometimes may mimic more serious lesions such as malignancies. The clinical diagnosis of such an uncommon extragingival pyogenic granulomra can be quite challenging. The purpose of this article is to report an unusual case of extragingival pyogenic granuloma occurring on the lower lip, which presented as a cutaneous horn.
化脓性肉芽肿是一种因轻度刺激而产生的、广为人知的局限性肉芽组织过度生长。尽管已知其对牙龈有显著的偏好，但它也可在牙龈外发现，具有不同的临床特征，有时可能会模仿更严重的病变，如恶性肿瘤。这种罕见的牙龈外化脓性肉芽肿的临床诊断可能颇具挑战性。本文的目的是报告一例发生在下唇的罕见牙龈外化脓性肉芽肿病例，其表现为皮角。
