Abstract
Pregnancy tumor is a benign tumor like growth that occurs in pregnant women. It usually appears on the anterior maxillary gingiva as a single pedunculated mass with a smooth surface and red color. The pregnancy tumor is histologically similar to a pyogenic granuloma but it is a distinct lesion on the basis of etiology, biologic behavior, and treatment protocol. In this report, a rapidly growing pregnancy tumor in a 27-year-old female in the third trimester of pregnancy was described. This case suggests that the pregnant women with a history of pregnancy tumor require special attention for possible enlargement of this lesion.
