Abstract:
Granuloma pyogenicum (GP) has been reported to be associated with hemangioma and hamartomas, including port-wine stains. GP may rarely occur in association with port-wine stains, either de novo or following trauma such as laser therapy. It has been suggested that the development of GP in a port-wine stain following trauma might be associated with microscopic arteriovenous anastomosis in the port-wine stain. We report a 48 year-old woman with GP arising within port-wine stain following trauma.
