Pulse granuloma is a rare benign entity that has also been called oral vegetable granuloma[1] and giant cell hyaline angiopathy.[2] Most of the literature suggests that the pathogenesis is a foreign body reaction to ingested legume parenchymatous cells at various stages of digestion.[1,3-7] Vegetable particles have been demonstrated associated with granulomas and hyaline rings in most of the reported cases in the literature[4,5,8-10] and in 2 reviews of a larger number of cases.[3,6] The histologic and ultrastructural findings of a series of cases of pulse granulomas have also been reported.[1] Animal experiments with injection of vegetable matter in lungs and oral cavity have demonstrated reactions similar to lentil granulomas observed in humans.[3,7]
