Resumo: Localized juvenile spongiotic gingival hyperplasia is a lesion of unknown etiology that occurs in the gingiva of young individuals. We report two cases of this uncommon lesion. The first is a 13-year-old female patient with a reddish papillary nodule in the vestibular gingiva of tooth 11, partially covering the crown, with a provisional diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma. The second is an 11-year-old patient with a red papillary nodule in the vestibular gingiva of tooth 22, with a provisional diagnosis of papilloma. She also presented a red plaque on gingiva of tooth 11, which was not removed. Excisional biopsy of the nodules was performed. The lesions were characterized by connective tissue lined by hyperplastic non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, spongiosis, exocytosis, and subepithelial inflammatory infiltrate. Knowledge of the clinical and histological features of this lesion is important in deciding the best treatment, either excision or observation, as some cases may spontaneously resolve.
