  • Title: Recurrent pyogenic granuloma with a satellite lesion.
    Author: Rana R, Ramachandra SS, Prasad UC, Aggarwal P, Dayakara JK.
    Journal: Cutis; 2015 Aug; 96(2):E27-30. PubMed ID: 26367761.
    Abstract:
    Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a tumorlike growth of the oral mucosa or skin that is considered to be an exaggerated conditioned response to minor trauma. It usually is painless, bleeds easily, and is considered to be nonneoplastic in nature. Pyogenic granuloma predominantly occurs in the second decade of life, mostly among young adult females. Clinically, it is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red, erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base that usually is hemorrhagic. We report the case of 30-year-old woman who presented with a PG in the anterior palatal region during pregnancy that recurred with a satellite lesion 1 year following surgical excision.
