Multiple disseminated pyogenic granuloma after second degree scald burn: a rare two case

Mustafa Durgun et al. Int J Burns Trauma. .

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign lesion and usually occurs after trauma. Disseminated pyogenic granuloma, is a rare form of pyogenic granuloma. There are 9 cases of disseminated pyogenic granuloma in literature and most of them are hot milk burns. First case describes an 18- month-old girl who developed disseminated pyogenic granulomas on her right cheek, neck, and right nasal ala. Lesions on her right cheek and neck were excised and sutured primarily. Lesion on right nasal ala was excised and repaired with full thickness skin graft. Second case describes a 7-years- old boy who developed pyogenic granulomas on his left forearm. These lesions were excised and sutured primarily. In both cases lesions were developed after scald burn. During 6-month follow-up, no recurrence was observed in both cases.

Keywords: Pyogenic granuloma; burn.
