Pyogenic granuloma or lobular capillary hemangioma is a vascular tumor that occurs on both mucosa and skin, and appears as an overgrowth of tissue due to irritation, physical trauma, or hormonal factors.
Pyogenic granuloma は、一般的に皮膚または粘膜に発生する非癌性の血管腫瘍です。正確には小葉性毛細血管腫と呼ばれます。この結節性病変は通常、傷つきやすい単一の赤い茎状隆起として現れます。場合によっては、茎のない平坦な形態で出現することもあります。外側に向かって急速に増大し、表面に潰瘍ができることがあります。Pyogenic granuloma は皮膚や口腔内に多く見られ、特に口腔内で最も頻繁に認められます。 Pyogenic granuloma, sometimes known as granuloma pyogenicum, refers to a common, acquired, benign vascular tumor that arises in tissues such as the skin and mucous membranes. It is more accurately called a lobular capillary hemangioma. The lesion grossly appears as a solitary, red, pedunculated papule that is very friable. Less commonly, it may present as a sessile plaque. It shows rapid exophytic growth, with a surface that often undergoes ulceration. It is often seen on cutaneous or mucosal surfaces. Among the latter, it is most commonly seen within the oral cavity.
