A 56-year-old male had presented with left nasal bleeding repeatedly for 4 days. The pathological examination after resection showed pyogenic granuloma. Its etiology and pathogenesis, clinical features, pathological features and treatments were reviewed.

Orocutaneous fistulas, or cutaneous sinuses of odontogenic origin, are uncommon but often misdiagnosed as skin lesions unrelated to dental origin by physicians. Accurate diagnosis and use of correct investigative modalities are important because orocutaneous fistulas are easily confused for skin or bone tumors, osteomyelitis, infected cysts, salivary gland fistulas, and other pathologies. The aim of this study is to present our experience with a patient with orocutaneous fistulas of odontogenic origin presenting as recurrent pyogenic granuloma of the cheek, and to discuss their successful treatment.

A case of pyogenic granuloma occurred in inferior turbinate was reported and the literatures were reviewed. A 32 years old male patient with left side progressive stuffy nose and repeated epistaxis. Nasal endoscopic examination showed a dark red neoplasm in left nasal cavity and blocked the anterior naris. Nasal cavity enhanced CT showed the neoplasm located in the front of left nasal cavity with marked enhancement. Bilateral sinuses were normal and there was no significant bone destruction. Nasal endoscopic surgery was performed under local anesthesia. Postoperative pathology report showed pyogenic granuloma (granulation tissue type of angioneoplasm).

BACKGROUND: Many studies focused on the distribution of skin tumors in Korea, but none of them included whole data refered from deparments other than dermatology and primary physicians. OBJECTIVE: This study was to investigate the incidence and distribution of skin tumors among Korean people. METHODS: A study was made on 1448 cases of skin tumors which were obtained mainly from surgical pathology specimen during the period of 10 years from 1992 to 2001 at Department of Dermatology in Keimyung University Dongsan Medical center. RESULTS: 1. Of the 1448 cases of skin tumors, 1171 cases(80.9%) were benign tumor, 277 cases (19.1%) were malignant tumor and male to female ratio was 1: 1.1. 2. Among the 1171 cases of benign tumors, 174 cases of melanocytic nevi, 173 cases of epidermal cyst, 109 cases of seborrheic keratosis, 62 cases of granuloma pyogenicum were noted. 3. Among 277 cases of malignant tumors, 107 cases of basal cell carcinoma, 58 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 27 cases of metastatic cutaneous carcinoma, 24 cases of Bowen disease were noted. 4. The predilection sites of Intradermal nevi were face(38.4%), trunk(17.4%), scalp(16.3%), and those of epidermal cyst were face(41.0%), trunk(29.5%), neck(8.1%). The predilection site of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma was face(80.4%, 58.6%). CONCLUSION: The 1448 cases of skin tumors, which were confirmed histologically from surgical pathology specimen at Department of Dermatology in the Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center during the period of 10 years from 1992 to 2001, were reviewed.
