نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: Granuloma pyogenicum or pyogenic granuloma is common benign vascular lesion of oral cavity mucous membrane and skin particularly in children and young adult fingers. Most of granuloma pyogenicum achieve a size of about 2 cm but giant variant can achieve a size of more than 4–5 cm. Giant granuloma pyogenicum of scalp is a occasionally reported. Giant and multiple granuloma pyogenicum are reported in immunocompromised patient. Case Report: A giant granuloma pyogenicum of scalp is reported here in a healthy child. This giant variant of granuloma of scalp was treated by excision with a small margin of normal skin and primary closure with sutures. Conclusion: Giant variant of granuloma pyogenicum on scalp is uncommon. (This page in not part of the published article.) International Journal of Case Reports and Images, Vol. 8 No. 3, March 2017.
