Pyogenic Granuloma [PG] is considered to be a non neoplastic inflammatory lesion in the oral cavity. It is not a true granulomadespite its name,. The etiology of pyogenic granuloma includes exogenous factors such as calculus, foreign materials in the gingival sulcus, and trauma. It most commonly involves 75% of the gingiva. Many recent reports have showed a rare association between the Pyogenic granuloma [PG] and port-wine stain [PWS]. SturgeWeber syndrome is a nonhereditary developmental condition characterized by a facial capillary malformation, ipsilateral leptomeningeal angioma, and vascular eye abnormalities. The facial capillary malformations are of characteristic dark red to brown black in color thus referred as facial Port Wine Stains. There are a wide range of treatment options available for treating PGs with PWS which includes excision, curettage, cryotherapy and lasers. Anew treatment modality is now followed for recurrent PG which is the intralesional injection of liquid sclerosing agents referred assclerotherapy. Thus in this case report, the sclerosant Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate is employed for the treatment of recurrent pyogenic granuloma in a woman with concurrent presentation of PWS and it has proved to be a successful treatment modality for the resolution of the lesion. Thus sclerotherapy with Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate can be used as an effective alternative for the treatment of recurrent PG associated with PWS.
