Pyogenic granuloma of the penis--a rare entity?

Abstract

A case of pyogenic granuloma of the prepuce is presented. This to our knowledge, is the first reported case of this condition affecting this site. (Genitourin Med 1995;71:43-44)

Multiple pyogenic granuloma of the penis

“…4 In this case, the lesion was solitary and developed on the inner aspect of the prepuce of a 25 year old healthy man, seemingly without history of trauma. Conversely, in our case the lesions were multiple and developed shortly after circumcision, during the process of wound healing.…”

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.…”
