Pyogenic granuloma as a surrogate indicator of deep seated foreign bodies: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although pyogenic granulomas are often clinically associated with foreign bodies or recurrent traumatic injury, this association is not well documented.

This lack of evidence bases may hinder the hand surgeon from extending the wound incision and thorough exploration. Recurrent pyogenic granulomas should lead the hand surgeon to entertain the possibility of a missed foreign body.
