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.

Palabras clave : pyogenic granuloma; reactive lesion; surgical excision..
