Pyogenic granuloma of the transverse colon. Report of a pediatric case
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a unique pattern of multiple asymptomatic pyogenic granuloma found in the mucosa of the transverse colon, 4 cm distally to a colostomy site in a 2 year old boy with rectal aganglionosis. The peculiar lesion formed a group of exophytic, topographically-related masses up to 5 mm in height containing the proliferated capillaries. Endothelial markers (CD31, CD34, FVIII) were positive but Glut-1. The example appears to be the second report of pyogenic granuloma involving the colonic mucosa of children.
