ABSTRACT

Telangiectatic granuloma is a non-neoplastic benign lesion of the gingival mucosa, reactive type, associated with trauma. For several years, it had different names among which we can mention the pyogenic granuloma gravidarum occurring during pregnancy, the lobular capillary hemangioma and the epulis. Histologically, it is characterized by a vascular proliferation, chronic inflammatory infiltrate and granulation tissue. The aim of this case is to describe the clinical and histological characteristics of the telangiectatic granuloma of the oral cavity and its treatment plan. A 50-year-old female patient comes to the consultation reporting repeated gingival bleeding on the posterior area of the upper dental arch when brushing or consuming some food. Clinically, unadjusted provisional prosthesis was observed in the dental organs from 11 to 15. After removing the prosthesis, an increase in the volume of the interdental gum of erythematous type which bleeds easily was obvious. The pathologic report showed a lesion with swelling of the flaky epithelium, formation of new blood vessels and chronic inflammatory infiltrate. The diagnosis was telangiectatic granuloma. The lesion was surgically removed by crown lengthening with osseous reduction. Eight days after surgery, a healing process without complications was seen. 6 months later, the lesion relapsed. This fact leads us to outline the importance of the control of local factors, such as the presence of unadjusted prosthesis and the accumulation of dental plaque after the surgical removal of this type of lesions.
