Pyogenic granuloma with multiple satellites

Alternative Therapeutic Approach in the Treatment of Oral Pyogenic Granuloma

“…The recurrence rate after surgical treatment was noted to be 15.8% in a retrospective study of 242 cases, and it is more common after the excision of gingival lesions compared to the extragingival sites [ 2 ]. This unusual phenomenon of multiple PGs is known as satellitosis and usually develops as a complication of tumor removal or trauma [ 14 , 15 ].…”

A Case of Lobular Capillary Hemangioma (Pyogenic Granuloma), Localized to the Subcutaneous Tissue, and a Review of the Literature

“…9 Several variants of LCH have been recognized. These include oral mucosal LCH (granuloma gravidarum, or ''pregnancy tumor''), 10,11 intravenous LCH, 12 satellite LCH, 13,14 dermal LCH, 1 and subcutaneous LCH. [15][16][17] Although most of the variants present as superficial raised, friable lesions that bleed easily when abraded, dermal and subcutaneous LCH present as deeper nodules lacking the characteristic surface changes, and as such they may be more difficult to diagnose clinically.…”

“…The patient's estrogen use may have contributed to the genesis of the original lesion and further predisposed her to trauma-induced progression of the lesion. Both local spreading (satellitosis) and widespread dissemination of LCH have been reported following the excision of an initially singular lesion, [18][19][20][21][22] although no previous cases have involved the subcutaneous variant of LCH.…”

“…However, a diagnosis of LCH cannot be excluded solely based on the plurality of lesions because both satellite LCH and disseminated LCH are known entities. 13,14,[18][19][20][21][22] A definitive diagnosis of LCH may not be possible on clinical grounds in many cases, and because other more malignant lesions are in the differential diagnosis, histopathology is often critical in making this distinction.…”

Pyogenic Granuloma: Satellitosis after Carbon Dioxide Laser Vaporization Resolved with an Intense Pulsed Light System

“…This phenomenon usually affects young patients with lesions located on the back, in the scapular area. It is an infrequent process with fewer than 50 cases described in the literature 35,37–46 …”
