## Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign, non-neoplastic inflammatory hyperplasia of keratinized tissue, typically arising in response to chronic irritation, trauma, or hormonal influences. Recently it has been classified under vascular tumor and termed as a lobular capillary hemangioma by International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies. It presents as a solitary, hemorrhagic, often pedunculated, nodules of variable size which typically appears most of the times in the gingiva. This report presents the case of a 43-year-old male with a pyogenic granuloma on the floor of the mouth. This rare location frequently leads to diagnostic uncertainty among clinicians.
