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 是一種常見的非癌性血管腫瘤,亦稱為小葉毛細血管瘤。這種結節性病變通常呈單一、紅色、莖狀的腫塊,容易受損或破裂。有時它會呈現無莖的平坦斑塊。病變往往快速向外擴張,且表面可能形成潰瘍。Pyogenic granuloma 常發生於皮膚或黏膜,口腔最為常見。 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.
