AB Pyogenic  granuloma  presents  as  an  eruptive,  friable  papule  over  weeks.  They  are  frequently  located  on  the  extremities,  face,  or  at  recently  traumatized  sites.  Children  are  commonly  affected,  but  they  can  occur  at  any  age.  The  lesion  will  bleed  with  little  trauma  and  can  be  difficult  to  stop.  If  the  papule  is  not  completely  removed,  it  will  likely  recur  at  the  same  site.  Pregnant  women  have  a  higher  incidence  of  pyogenic  granulomas  (common  on  the  gingiva).
