Abstract:
A pyogeinc granuloma, also known as a lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular tumor of the skin and mucous membranes, which is common in infants and children. It usually presents as a rapidly evolving solitary, sessile, or polypoid vascular nodule. An intravenous pyogenic granuloma (IVPG) is a rare form of pyogenic granuloma, in which the whole lesion appears as a single polypoid mass projecting into the lumen of a vein. All reported cases of IVPG have been limited the head, neck, and upper extremity. We report a case of an intravenous pyogenic granuloma located within the iliac vein of a lower extremity.
