What is the typical color of a pregnancy granuloma lesion?

• A. Erythematous
• B. Pale
• C. Blue
• D. Gray

Answer: (A)

Pregnancy granuloma is a vascular inflammatory lesion that often appears on the gums during pregnancy due to hormonal effects that promote blood vessel growth and inflammation. Its hallmark is a soft, red to reddish‑purple mass that bleeds easily because it is rich in blood vessels. The red color comes from this high vascular content, which is why erythematous best describes the typical appearance. Pale would imply reduced blood flow, blue suggests venous pooling or deeper pigment, and gray is not typical for this vascular granulation tissue. So the usual color is red (erythematous).
