Did you know that the pyogenic granuloma can extend beyond the labial or buccal aspect into the lingual region. What gives it away is the peduncle or stalk of origin. A giant cell granuloma will have this feature missing. Also, bony involvement is usually absent in a pyogenic granuloma. This doesn’t necessarily bleed spontaneously or on gentle probing. There are other features but these will help you differentiate it from other lesions.
