Abstract:
Using Avidin-Biotin immunoperaxidase method, we investigate the distribution patterns of factor VIII related antigen in various areas of skin lesions of 14 granuloma pyogenicum. and in the skin lesions of 5 capillary hemangioma and 5 normal skin. The results are summarized as follows: 1. Factor VIII related antigen was detected in 9 of 14 cases of granuloma pyogenicum, in 4 of 5 cases of capillary hemangioma, and in 5 of 5 cases of normal skin. 2. In the lesions of granuloma pyogenicum the areas with prominent capillary endothelial cell proliferation had less positivity than the vascular areas. And the areas with relatively large vesels in the lesions of granuloma pyogenicum had similar positivity as capillary hemangioma. 3. The lesions of granuloma pyogenicum and capillary hemangioma had less positivity than the vessels of normal derrnis.
