Abstract:
We report herein a case of subcutaneous granuloma pyogenicum developed on the fourth interdigital space of right foot of 36-year-old housewife. Histopathological findings showed characteristic lobular capillary hemangioma. The subcutaneous nodule had a thick fibrous capsule and were composed of multiple, confluent cellular, angiomatous lobules separated by loose fibrous tissue. Most lobules contained round, oval or angular capillaries, lined by proliferated prominant endothelial cells projecting into the lumina of the vessels. Clinically, the lesion was a tender subcutaneous nodule with macerated surface aind soft corn or traumatic epidermal cyst were considered in the differential diagnoses.
