The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the clinical, demographic, and pathologic properties of oral pyogenic granuloma occurring in a Brazilian population.
We retrieved an archival number of 293 cases that were diagnosed as having oral pyogenic granuloma at the Service of Pathological Anatomy, Discipline of Oral Pathology, Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil, during a 38-year period, from 1970 to 2008. The records were reviewed, and information on gender, age, race, lesion site, predisposing factors, clinical features, and clinical diagnosis, treatment, and recurrence was collected.
There was a female predilection, and the female-to-male ratio was 2.38:1. The mean age of the patients was 27 years. A high degree of occurrence was observed in the second decade of life. White patients were most commonly affected (44.7%). The most frequently involved site was the gingiva (83%), with a higher prevalence in the maxilla. The majority of cases were symptomatic and showed bleeding; the lesions were described as nodules (71.9%) with a soft consistency (62.3%) and a red surface (73.2%). The base was pedunculated in 61.1% of cases, and the mean size was 1.3 cm. The recurrence rate was 8.2% of cases.
The clinical, demographic, and pathologic features of oral pyogenic granuloma in the Brazilian population in this study were similar to those in studies of populations from other countries.
本研究的目的是回顾性分析巴西人群中发生的口腔化脓性肉芽肿的临床、人口统计学和病理学特征。
我们检索了1970年至2008年这38年间，在巴西纳塔尔市北里奥格兰德联邦大学牙科学院口腔病理学系病理解剖科被诊断为口腔化脓性肉芽肿的293例存档病例。对这些记录进行了审查，并收集了有关性别、年龄、种族、病变部位、诱发因素、临床特征以及临床诊断、治疗和复发情况的信息。
女性更易患病，男女比例为2.38:1。患者的平均年龄为27岁。在第二个十年年龄段观察到较高的发病率。白种人患者受影响最为常见（44.7%）。最常累及的部位是牙龈（83%），在上颌更为常见。大多数病例有症状且表现为出血；病变被描述为结节（71.9%），质地柔软（62.3%），表面呈红色（73.2%）。61.1%的病例基底有蒂，平均大小为1.3厘米。复发率为病例的8.2%。
本研究中巴西人群口腔化脓性肉芽肿的临床、人口统计学和病理学特征与其他国家人群的研究结果相似。
