Distal penile pyogenic granuloma: A case report

Penile granuloma pyogenicum. Exhaustive examiantion of any penile growth with a focus on identifying external and local sources of irritants togeter with histological evaluation are the main stay of treatment of pyogenic granuloma. Key Clinical MessageThe mainstays of treatment for granuloma pyogenicum include careful evaluation of any penile growth, thorough excision of the polypoid, histological examination, and close monitoring to check relapse and management.AbstractPyogenic granuloma is an acquired noncancerous vascular proliferation that arises from the mucosa and skin, seldom subcutaneously or intravascularly. It is also referred to as telangiectasis granuloma or lobular capillary haemangioma. The risk factors include vascular abnormalities, medicines, hormones, and microtrauma. We discussed the case of a 24-year-old man who had a poorly managed ventral distal penile polypoid lesion at a peripheral hospital. Upon further histopathological examination, the diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma was made. Histopathologically speaking, the term “pyogenic granuloma” is misleading because the illness is not linked to the production of granulomas. Pyogenic granuloma's etiopathogenesis is still unknown; true hemangioma is thought to be a reactive hyperproliferative of the vasculature brought on by a variety of stimuli; pyogenic granuloma m ay be caused by uneven angiogenic factor production in response to minor local trauma or cutaneous disease. Histopathological analysis and su...
