Abstract:
We have experienced 4 cases which were clinically diagncsed as granuloma pyogenicum, but histologically as a malignant melanorna, an eccrine angiomatous hamartoma with granuloma pyogenicum, a subungual exostosis, and a lipoma, with granulation tissue. A granuloma pyogenicum may have clinical resemblances to various benign or malignant lesions. Therefore, any lesion that resembles a granuloma pyogenicum should have this clinical impression confirmed by histologic examination.
