The bleeding stopped soon after transarterial micro-embolisation and regressed after one month; thus, no further surgical excision was needed. The patient was free of post-operative wound pain and infection, and there was no recurrence after one year of follow up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215115001176_sec_a3\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In general, surgical excision is the first treatment choice for pregnancy tumours. However, it is limited by the risk of marked deformity or incomplete excision when large lesions or difficult surgical areas are encountered. For large tumours, transarterial embolisation may be a safer alternative.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215115001176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,2]],"date-time":"2015-07-02T10:41:22Z","timestamp":1435833682000},"page":"607-610","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Treatment of pregnancy-associated oral pyogenic granuloma with life-threatening haemorrhage by transarterial embolisation"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"129","author":[{"given":"K-Y","family":"Tsai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W-H","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G-H","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Y H","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref39","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.20124"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1368-8375(00)00119-6"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hed.21372"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref36","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e3181cfa62a"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref33","first-page":"521","article-title":"Treatment of pyogenic granuloma with a sclerosing agent","volume":"27","author":"Matsumoto","year":"2001","journal-title":"Dermatol Surg"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.141.5.644"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.2004.tb00682.x"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.1998.tb04261.x"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1524-4725.2012.02344.x"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"249","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1601-5037.2010.00449.x","article-title":"CO2 laser-assisted treatment of a giant pyogenic granuloma of the gingiva","volume":"8","author":"Lindenm\u00fcller","year":"2010","journal-title":"Int J Dent Hyg"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref24","first-page":"173","article-title":"Gingival reconstruction with an onlay-interpositional graft following excision of a pyogenic granuloma: description of a surgical approach","volume":"15","author":"Nemcovsky","year":"2003","journal-title":"Pract Proced Aesthet Dent"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref23","first-page":"55","article-title":"Surgical removal of an oral pyogenic granuloma and subsequent root coverage with a pedicle graft","volume":"75","author":"Oliveira","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Dent Child (Chic)"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(92)70184-H"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref19","first-page":"141","volume-title":"Diagnostic Surgical Pathology of the Head and Neck","author":"Bouquot","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0022215115001176_ref18","first-page":"359","article-title":"Severe bleeding from a pregnancy tumour.
