Pyogenic granuloma is a lesion that arises in the skin and oral cavity, related to various causes, such as chronic irritation, trauma and hormonal changes. Clinically it looks like a highly vascularized hyperplastic lesion, sized 1-3 cm, with a pedunculated or sessile base and slow growing. It predominates in the female sex and tends to appear, above all, in the gum, with very few cases reported in edentulous areas; that is why the authors reported three cases of oral pyogenic granuloma in female patients, aged between 30 and 40 years. The lesions differed in their location and clinical appearance.
