	Introduction: Pyogenic granuloma (Granuloma pyogenicum) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is considered a cryptonym because the lesion is unrelated to infection and it can arise in response to various stimuli which can either be a low-grade local irritation or traumatic injury due to local factors. It is non-neoplastic in nature. Pregnancy tumour, pregnancy epulis and gingival epulis are the various other terms used when arising in pregnant women. Case Report: Here we present a case report of a 24-year-old female who developed a pregnancy tumour in the tongue which is an uncommon site and did not regress after parturition. Conclusion: The growth continued to remain due to traumatic factors and was surgically excised.&#13;
