Giant pyogenic granuloma in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Case Rep Dermatol. 2014 Sep 25;6(3):227-31. doi: 10.1159/000367935. eCollection 2014 Sep.

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, is a common benign vascular proliferative lesion that can present at any age on the skin or mucous membranes. Most lesions do not exceed 2 cm, but there are a handful of giant cutaneous pyogenic granulomas that have been reported, often in individuals with underlying immune dysfunction. Here, we report the first giant pyogenic granuloma in a patient with a hematological malignancy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Keywords: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia; Giant pyogenic granuloma.
