Abstract:
We describe an 11-year-old male who developed recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis in the scapular region after surgical excision of a solitary pyogenic granuloma. This is a well-recognized but rare event. Histologic findings showed many newly formed capillaries that had prominent endothelial cells, and varying degrees of dilation without appearance of epidermal collarette sign. We report a case that the satellite lesions were removed by carbon-dioxide laser excision.
