Multiple pyogenic granuloma of the penis

Abstract

A case of multiple pyogenic granuloma aVecting the penis of a 28 year old man is reported. The lesions were arranged in a floret-like fashion around the inner aspect of the prepuce and developed after circumcision for congenital phimosis. Histopathological examination of sections from a biopsy specimen of the papillomatous growths revealed the findings of pyogenic granuloma. In this patient, the pathogenesis of the lesions is probably related to the failure in surgical wound repair that followed circumcision. Problems of clinical and histopathological diVerential diagnosis are discussed. (Sex Transm Inf 1998;74:221-222)

Pyogenic Granuloma of the Penile Shaft Following Circumcision

“…Predisposing factors for the appearance of pyogenic granulomas are trauma, chronic irritation, and hormonal factors (5). Pyogenic granuloma of the male genitalia has rarely been reported (1–4); a literature search failed to reveal any association with circumcision. Our patient's lesion is␣unique because of its early appearance in infancy, location on the penile shaft, and association with circumcision.…”

“…In previous rare reports of pyogenic granuloma involving the male genitalia, these lesions have been related to zipper trauma, application of cosmetics resulting in chemical trauma, or trauma during sexual intercourse (1–4). Unexpectedly the literature lacks even a single case report of this entity arising following the most common of surgical procedures: neonatal circumcision.…”

Multiple, genital lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma) in a young woman: a diagnostic puzzle

“…[4][5][6][7] However, a literature search (using Medline) has revealed no previous reports of pyogenic granuloma involving the female genitalia. This might in the past have discouraged clinicians from making this diagnosis when it was appropriate to do so.…”

A case of Pyogenic Granuloma at an unusual location

“…A literature scan revealed a few cases of Pyogenic granuloma involving the shaft of penis [6] andprepuce of glans penis [7][8][9]. Literature search (using Medline) has revealed no previous reports of Pyogenic granuloma involving the meatus of glans penis.…”
