Eruptive pyogenic granulomas: a successfully treated patient and review of the literature

M Shah et al. Br J Dermatol. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary haemangioma, is a solitary, benign vascular skin tumour. Although a single pyogenic granuloma is common, multiple eruptive pyogenic granulomas are extremely rare. We report the occurrence of multiple, eruptive pyogenic granulomas in a previously healthy 17-year-old girl. Over 200 lesions appeared spontaneously over an 8-month period. Lesions were initially treated with cryotherapy, and then with the pulsed dye laser, resulting in their complete clearance.
