“…Most of the previous studies reported burn-associated multiple PG among infants and children [4‒6, 8‒12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 21, 25]. The present study suggests two populations, one younger and one older, affecting both sexes.…”

Background: Burn hemangioma, also known as scalded pyogenic granuloma, is considered a variant of pyogenic granuloma, but unlike the classic type it presents with rapid progression. Most patients are infants and young children with a history of burns caused by liquids. Objective: The present study aims to present all patients with burn hemangiomas treated at our institutions with a full clinical and histopathological assessment. Patients and Methods: This case series includes 34 cases that were treated during the period from 2016 to 2021. Results: A total of 34 patients (16 female/18 male, mean age of 17.6 years) were included. Two age groups presented: infants and children (n = 22, age range 0.5–8 years, 10 female/12 male), and adults (n = 11, age range 25–44 years, 6 female/6 male). Lesions appeared 1–2 weeks following predominantly second-degree burns, and multiple lesions predominated in infants and children. The lesions evolved to large lesions within weeks, and these appeared to be either static or involute. The histopathology was compatible with hemangioma, rather than pyogenic granuloma. Conclusion: Burn hemangioma should be considered a new variant of hemangioma rather than a type of pyogenic granuloma that follows second-degree burns. They have many similarities with infantile hemangioma, both clinically and histopathologically.

Two cases of pyogenic granulomas in burned skin were presented, a 17-month-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, being given oral propranolol and topical timolol. Both cases showed lesions improvement with no adverse effects, suggesting that betablocker therapy may have a positive impact on the treatment of pyogenic granuloma after burns.

Introduction. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common condition characterized by the appearance of a small raspberry-like vascular growth that may appear on any part of the skin. PG usually occurs secondary to acute or chronic trauma. The primary treatment for PG is noninvasive therapy. In refractory cases, surgical resection is an alternative. Superficial radiation therapy system (SRT-100) is a new technology that uses low-energy radiotherapy to treat nonmelanoma skin cancers. SRT may also be used for the treatment of patients with PG who are unwilling to undergo surgery. Case Presentation. A 27-year-old woman presented with a recurrent neoplasm in the middle finger of the left hand after surgical resection. She refused to undergo reoperation or other aggressive options such as electrocautery or liquid nitrogen cryotherapy, so we prescribed only superficial radiotherapy (SRT-100) alone, with a total dose of 14 Gy in four fractions. Conclusion. The neoplasm gradually flattened after treatment with 14 Gy in four fractions and disappeared completely 3 months after completion of treatment.
