The differential diagnosis of oral cavity pyogenic granuloma includes the above, as well as the site-specific peripheral giant cell granuloma and peripheral ossifying fibroma. The differential diagnosis on histology includes cherry angioma and bacillary angiomatosis.
White linear ‘rail lines’ are an important feature. What are the complications of pyogenic granuloma? Pyogenic granuloma can bleed profusely and frequently with minor trauma, resulting in anaemia. Oral pyogenic granuloma can rarely cause significant bone loss.

Pyogenic granulomas are small, raised, and red bumps on the skin. The bumps have a smooth surface and may be moist. They bleed easily because of the high number of blood vessels at the site. It is a benign (noncancerous) growth. Pyogenic granulomas are skin lesions that can develop after an injury.

Background. Interstitial granulomatous dermatitis (IGD) is a rare disease that clinically presents with a pruritic and painful rash revealing symmetric, erythematous, and violaceous plaques over the lateral trunk, buttocks, and thighs [1]. Fewer than 70 cases have been documented in the literature [2].
In myogenic ptosis, the levator muscle is weakened due to a systemic disorder that causes muscle weakness. These conditions may include chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and types of muscular dystrophy. With mechanical ptosis, the eyelid is weighed down by excessive skin or a mass.
Ptosis is a drooping or falling of the upper eyelid. If ptosis is severe enough, it can cause amblyopia (lazy eye) or astigmatism. It is important to treat if noticed at a younger age—if left untreated, it could affect vision development. The condition is more commonly acquired later in life.
ICD-10 code H02. 4 for Ptosis of eyelid is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the eye and adnexa .

Procedures that can remove granulomas include:Cryotherapy, to freeze it away.Curettage, to scrape it away, and cautery, to seal the skin with heat.Laser treatment to destroy the abnormal tissue.Surgical excision, to cut the granuloma out of your skin.

It is the provider's responsibility to select codes carried out to the highest level of specificity and selected from the ICD-10-CM code book appropriate to the year in which the service is rendered for the claim (s) submitted. Please note not all ICD-10-CM codes apply to all CPT codes.

Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.
For example, if a lesion is excised because of suspicion of malignancy (e.g., ICD-10-CM code D48.5), the Medical Record might include “increase in size” to support this diagnosis. “Increase in size” might also support the diagnosis of disturbance of skin sensation (R20.0-R20.3, R20.8).
Similarly, use of an ICD-10 code L82.0 (Inflamed seborrheic keratosis) will be insufficient to justify lesion removal, without the medical record documentation of the patients' symptoms and physical findings. It is important to document the patient's signs and symptoms as well as the physician's physical findings.

Pyogenic granuloma is an acquired benign proliferation of capillary blood vessels of the skin and oral cavity. The name is a misnomer as it is a form of lobular capillary haemangioma, not due to infection. Pyogenic granuloma has many synonyms including granuloma gravidarum or pregnancy tumour when occurring in pregnancy.
Pyogenic granuloma is usually a clinical diagnosis. However, tissue may be submitted for histology following surgical treatment of the lesion or where there are concerns about the diagnosis.
Pyogenic granuloma is usually solitary, but multiple nodules and satellite lesions can erupt. The most common sites involved are the fingers and face. Pyogenic granuloma easily bleeds with minor trauma.
The clinical differential diagnosis of cutaneous pyogenic granuloma includes:
In addition to the lobular capillary haemangioma pattern, a second type shows a distinct granulation tissue -like vascular proliferation which is postulated to have a different aetiology and evolution.
Pyogenic granuloma often occurs in children around 6 years of age and during teenage and young adult life. There is an overall male predominance (3:2) except for oral lesions due to their association with pregnancy and oral contraceptive use. There is no racial predilection.
Factors associated with the development of a pyogenic granuloma may include: Trauma — recent minor trauma accounts for 7% of presentations and, in the oral cavity, chronic minor irritation is thought to be a common trigger. Nasal piercings are reported in association with intranasal pyogenic granuloma. Hormonal influences — can occur ...
