Pyogenic granuloma is an overzealously proliferative non-neoplastic lesion of connective tissue origin, found commonly in oral cavity and is secondary to chronic low grade local irritation, poor oral hygiene, and hormonal disturbances. The term is misnomer because a lesion is unrelated to infection. It is characterized by excessive and exuberant tissue repair response with varied inflammatory component. Since it is a benign lesion, choice of treatment is surgical excision with removal of underlying cause if any. This article aims at presenting a case of pyogenic granuloma in an extremely old patient which is unusual as it attained a very large size and also has caused mild resorption of underlying alveolar bone of mandible.
化脓性肉芽肿是一种起源于结缔组织的过度增生性非肿瘤性病变，常见于口腔，继发于慢性低度局部刺激、口腔卫生不良和激素紊乱。该术语是误称，因为该病变与感染无关。其特征是伴有不同炎症成分的过度且旺盛的组织修复反应。由于它是良性病变，治疗方法是手术切除，并去除任何潜在病因。本文旨在介绍一例极其高龄患者的化脓性肉芽肿病例，该病例不同寻常，因为它长得非常大，还导致了下颌骨下方牙槽骨的轻度吸收。
