Abstract :

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), a histological form of pyogenic granuloma (PG), is a frequent benign skin and mucous membrane vascular connective tissue anomaly. PG is neither pyogenic nor granuloma histologically, despite its misleading moniker. It is usually reactive proliferation in reaction to local irritation, and it bleeds less than PG, which is hormonal immune-inflammatory. It may create discomfort, esthetic concerns, or functional challenges depending on its size and position.A 39-year-old woman presented with a recurring lobular capillary hemangioma from the connective tissue in the intra-furcal granulation tissue and associated attached gingiva of maxillary posterior region. Despite conventional therapy, the lesion recurred three times over a period of two years, underscoring the diagnostic challenges, therapeutic difficulties, and the need for long-term follow-up.
