Abstract

Pulse or hyaline ring granulomas are rare but are well-defined oral and extraoral lesions due to implantation of the cellulose moiety of plant foods in contrast starch components. Implantation could be through extraction sockets, deep periodontal pockets, associated with tumor growth, interdental areas of teeth, unfilled root canals, and grossly decayed teeth. These get rapidly digested and altered by host responses. It is Microscopic oral inflammatory lesion characterized by the presence of giant cells and hyaline rings. The features of pulse granuloma are not considered clinically distinctive and remain primarily microscopic. Extensive knowledge of abnormal sites of origin and clinical manifestations enables clinicians to recognize the diagnostic risks of confusing pulse granuloma with other entities.
