Overview
Pyogenic granuloma is a common, benign growth that often appears as a rapidly growing, bleeding bump on the skin or inside the mouth. It is composed of blood vessels and may occur at the site of minor injury.

When a pyogenic granuloma occurs in a pregnant woman, it is sometimes called a "pregnancy tumor" (granuloma gravidarum). Pyogenic granulomas develop in up to 5% of pregnant women.
