Vascular lesions tumors at the maxillo-facial area could be divided into malformations and tumors. Furthermore, vascular tumors are separated into malignant and benign tumors. Benign vascular tumor such as pyogenic granuloma usually only manifests at the gingiva or oral mucosa region. Few studies have reported extensive-sized facial pyogenic granuloma. This case reports a substantial pyogenic granuloma from the mandibular gingiva down to the chin region. In this case report, we presented a 25-year-old female patient with mastication and esthetic disturbance due to a vascular tumor in her mandibular region. Through thorough examination, a benign vascular lesion was diagnosed pre-operatively. The patient was treated with excisional biopsy and primary closure under general anaesthesia followed by anatomical pathology examination with the result of pyogenic granuloma, resulting in satisfying functional and esthetical outcomes. Patients with vascular lesions need well-executed diagnoses and treatment to achieve favourable anatomic and functional outcomes and preserve their quality of life.
