introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity, considered to be of non-neoplastic nature, often caused by constant low-grade trauma as well as poor oral hygiene and maybe due to hormonal disturbances. surgical excision, and removal of underlying cause in some cases, is the preferred method of treatment as it is only a benign lesion. in order to remove th...

introduction: pyogenic granuloma (pg) is one of the inflammatory hyperplasia seen in the oral cavity. it is a reactional response to minor trauma or chronic irritation and also might be related to hormonal changes. rarely, pg occurs extragingivally.the most common treatment of pg is surgical excision but alternative approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed. case report : herein...

A case of multiple pyogenic granuloma affecting the penis of a 28 year old man is reported. The lesions were arranged in a floret-like fashion around the inner aspect of the prepuce and developed after circumcision for congenital phimosis. Histopathological examination of sections from a biopsy specimen of the papillomatous growths revealed the findings of pyogenic granuloma. In this patient, t...

AAOC: acral angioosteoma cutis BMP: bone morphogenic protein PG: pyogenic granuloma VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor INTRODUCTION Googe et al in 2006 first described 11 cases of acral angioosteoma cutis (AAOC), characterized by benign vascular and osseous lesions on acral skin. Since then, there have been only 3 additional cases reported. This friable erythematous exophytic papule has c...

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor of the skin or mucosae usually observed after irritative processes. We report the case of a non-compliant hemodialysis patient with severe hyperparathyroidism who rapidly developed growing pyogenic granuloma of the distal part of the left thumb. This tumor mimicked sarcoma and caused recurrent bleeding during hemodialysis sessions. Hand radiograph r...

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity as a tissue response to irritation, trauma or hormonal imbalances. It is a common tumor-like growth of the oral cavity or skin that is considered to be non neoplastic in nature [1]. There are two kinds of PG namely lobular capillary hemangioma and non lobular capillary hemangioma type which differ in their histol...

A 65-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of melena and chest pain due to anemia. Medical history disclosed type 1 diabetes mellitus, an acute coronary syndrome, pacemaker implantation because of a sick sinus syndrome and an occlusion of the superior temporal artery. The patient used a coumarin derivative. During admission, the patient had large volume melena and became hemodynamic...

Definition Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common reactive neoformation of the oral cavity, which is composed of granulation tissue and develops in response to local irritation or trauma. Various different names have been given to this entity, reflecting, in part, mistaken concepts about its aetiopathogenesis: • Botryomycosis hominis • Botryomycoma • Telangiectatic granuloma • Benign pedunculated ...

Pyogenic granulomas are benign vascular disorders of the skin and mucose membranes, generally developed by trauma and irritation. The lesions are generally small. They are most commonly seen in the skin and oral mucosa and rarely seen on penis. We present the case of a huge pyogenic granuloma on the penis.
