Oral isotretinoin induced giant lobular capillary haemangioma over scalp: a rare case report

Vulvar Pyogenic Granuloma in Adult Female Population: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…PGs may be seen at different areas including the head, neck, and extremities or in the oral mucosa cavity during pregnancy [3][4][5][6].

Herein, we introduce the first vulvar PG in an Iranian female patient and a brief review of the literature in this regard.…”
