Daley et al27 has indicated that a diagnosis of pregnancy
tumor is clinically valid in describing a PG occurring in
pregnancy, because it describes a distinct lesion not on the
basis of histologic features, but on its etiology, biologic
behavior, and treatment protocol. From this case, acute
severe gingivitis may be an early sign to alert the clinician
to the possibility of pregnancy, and unnecessary interventional
therapy should be avoided, especially X-ray tests. It
is commonly accepted that a pregnancy tumor can partially
or completely regress after parturition. Therefore, treatment
considerations during pregnancy are dependent on
the severity of the symptoms. For patients with no bleeding
lesions or ones that are painless, oral hygiene instructions,
clinical observation, follow-up, and oral self-care at home
are advised.
