A 21 year old woman presented with multiple lobulated lesions on the labia majora. The surface of most of the lesions was ulcerated revealing a glistening surface. All lesions were excised. The histopathology revealed features suggestive of lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma). Pyogenic granuloma is considered as a reactive hyperproliferative vascular response to trauma or other s...

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 ov...

BACKGROUND Infectious spondylodiscitis is characterized by the involvement of two adjacent vertebrae and the intervening disc. Incidence rate of the disease is estimated at 0.4-2 cases per 100000 per year. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common infectious agent causing pyogenic spondylodiscitis. Non-pyogenic infections of the spine are most frequently caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is difficult to differentiate the cause of brain abscesses with the use of CT and MR imaging. We did a comparative evaluation of pyogenic, tubercular, and fungal brain abscesses by using conventional, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and proton MR spectroscopy (PMRS) with an aim to define the unique features that may differentiate among the pyogenic, tubercular, and f...

BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma is a common non-neoplastic connective tissue proliferation. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are vascular adhesion molecules and CD34 is a marker for evaluation of angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to compare the immunohistochemical expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD34 in oral pyogenic granuloma and normal gingiva. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was performed on th...

Like growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or.Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, this.Pyogenic gra...

Pyogenic liver abscess has become a health problem in Taiwanese society. However, the extent of this problem has remained unclear because of the lack of a population-based study. We therefore performed a nationwide analysis of pyogenic liver abscess in Taiwan from 1996 through 2004. We analyzed 29,703 cases from the Taiwan National Health Insurance database and 506 cases from National Taiwan Un...

We report the case of a patient who developed pyogenic spondylitis after surgery for oral floor cancer. This 85-year-old man was evaluated at our hospital for a mass in the left floor of the mouth. Oral floor cancer (T2N0M0) was diagnosed. Surgical resection of the tumor was performed twice. On postoperative day 14, he developed sudden neck pain, followed by fever the next day and a gradual dec...

The incidence of pyogenic arthritis is less than that of transient synovitis and varies substantially (from 1/100,000 to 37/100,000 children) depending on the population studied. Although pyogenic arthritis occurs in all age groups, the peak incidence of disease is in children under 3 years of age. A history of trauma temporally related to the onset of arthritis caused by Staphylococcus aureus ...
