Abstract

The appearance of multiple satellite lesions is a rare complication of the treatment of a primary pyogenic granuloma lesion. We report 5 cases of recurrent pyogenic granuloma in patients aged between 4 and 31 years. The lesions resolved spontaneously after 1 to 9 months. Although the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent pyogenic granuloma can be problematic, this condition is benign and frequently self-limiting.
