A giant pyogenic granuloma gravidarum in the nasal cavity: A case report

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign fibrovascular proliferative lesion on the skin and mucous membranes, but its pathogenesis remains unclear. PG usually occurs on the head and neck region, fingers and toes. The oral gingiva is the most common location for pregnant patients, while it is rarely found in the nasal cavity. This case is notable not only for its uncommon site and size but also for its gradual growth after delivery. Endoscopic surgery can achieve the desired cosmetic effect and a satisfactory airway. A rapidly growing hemorrhagic lesion in the nasal cavity should be considered as a differential diagnosis.
