“…www.odermatol.com Clinically, pyogenic granulomas begin as small red papules that rapidly increase in size ranging from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Pyogenic granulomas may have an initial period of rapid growth, followed by stabilization and occasionally regression [3]. We present here an unmarried male patient aged 24yrs, presented with a small erythematous papule with sessile base over meatus of glans penis with occasionalspotting.…”

Pyogenic granulomas are common, acquired, benign vascular lesions of the skin and mucousmembranes that can develop both spontaneously and traumatically. Pyogenic Granuloma more commonly involves Gingiva (75% of all the cases). An extragingival occurrence of pyogenic granuloma is rare. We present an unique case of a male patient aged 24 years affected by Pyogenic Granuloma of urethral meatus. Although penile pyogenic granulomas have previously been observed over glans penis, prepuce and shaft of penis,there are no reports affecting meatus.

“…Established lesions are reddish to purplish due to the increased vascularity whereas the late healing type presents as pinkish to whitish mass. These different phases of pyogenic granuloma can be appreciated on the microscopic level as well [ 6 ]. The natural course of this lesion can be categorized into three distinct phases, namely, (i) cellular phase, (ii) capillary phase/vascular phase, and (iii) involutionary phase.…”

Background. Pyogenic granuloma is a reactive tumor-like lesion commonly affecting the oral cavity. These lesions usually appear as localized solitary nodule with a sessile or pedunculated base and colour varying from red, purplish, or pink, depending on the vascularity of the lesion. Pyogenic granuloma shows predilection for gingiva and is usually slow growing, but at times it shows rapid growth. The natural course of this lesion can be categorized into three distinct phases, namely, (i) cellular phase, (ii) capillary phase/vascular phase, and (iii) involutionary phase. Histopathologically, pyogenic granuloma is classified into lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) and non-lobular capillary hemangioma (non-LCH). Case Presentation. In this series, four cases (varied age groups and both genders) of pyogenic granuloma showing varying histopathological presentation in relation to its clinical course have been described. The lesion in its early phase reveals diffuse endothelial cells, with few budding into capillaries. Among the capillary phase, the LCH type shows numerous blood vessels organized into lobular aggregates whereas the non-LCH type does not show any such organization and resembles granulation tissue. The involutionary phase shows healing of the lesion and is characterized by extensive fibrosis in the connective tissue. Conclusion. In conclusion, knowledge of the various histopathological presentation of this lesion is necessary for proper identification.

“…The replacement of epithelium by fibrinopurulent membrane with subjacent dense chronic inflammatory cells again shows the effect of body's response to chronic irritation. [ 7 ] This is responsible for the yellowish discoloration seen over the surface of the swelling. Loss of mucous salivary gland architecture could be attributed to the long-standing chronic inflammation.…”
