  • Title: An unusual association of recurrent pyogenic granuloma on nevus flammeus in a patient with Von Recklinghausen's disease.
    Author: Alotaibi HM.
    Journal: Saudi Med J; 2009 Jun; 30(6):844-6. PubMed ID: 19526173.
    Abstract:
    Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucosa. There are a few reports on the rare association between it and port wine stain, but there is no clear description of an association with neurofibromatosis type 1 in the literature. This report presents a 29-year-old Saudi male with Von Recklinghausen's disease with recurrent pyogenic granuloma on the nevus flammeus over his neck. He was treated with shave excision and electrocautery with clearance and no recurrence of pyogenic granuloma for the last 5 years follow-up.
