Pyogenic granuloma is a non-neoplastic reactive lesion that commonly occurs in gingiva. It is rarely found in other locations such as the lips, tongue, palate and buccal mucosa. Lesions affecting the upper lip are even rarer and very few cases have been reported in the literature. In such situations, the lesion may mimic other conditions such as minor salivary gland tumours, mesenchymal tumours, and infectious lesions, which may create diagnostic difficulty. This case report describes an uncommon location of pyogenic granuloma occurring on the upper lip in a 49-year-old male patient.
化脓性肉芽肿是一种非肿瘤性反应性病变，常见于牙龈。很少见于其他部位，如嘴唇、舌头、腭部和颊黏膜。累及上唇的病变更为罕见，文献报道的病例很少。在这种情况下，病变可能会模仿其他病症，如小涎腺肿瘤、间叶组织肿瘤和感染性病变，这可能会造成诊断困难。本病例报告描述了一名49岁男性患者上唇出现化脓性肉芽肿这一罕见部位的情况。
