<p class="abstract">Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common benign vascular tumour which affect both skin and mucous membranes, occurring commonly on the face, oral mucosa, or a site of previous injury in all ages. Though some PGs resolve spontaneously, most requires treatment to prevent bleeding, ulceration, and scarring. We presented a case report of 4 patients who developed PG on index finger, forehead and nose. Our findings demonstrated the use of sclerotherapy using 3% sodium tetradecyl sulphate which is a safe and economical therapy for adult patients.</p>

Pyogenic granuloma, also called lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. While the majority of pyogenic granulomas in the oral cavity involve the gingiva, they also infrequently present at other sites including lips, oral mucosa, palate, and tongue. We report a case of a pyogenic granuloma of the tongue in a five-year old female patient.

Importance: Pyogenic Granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular tumor that forms commonly on the face, oral mucosa, or a site of previous injury. Though some PGs resolve spontaneously, most require some-to-multiple form(s) of treatment to prevent bleeding, ulceration, and scarring. Current treatment options for PGs include cryotherapy, laser, electrodessication, curettage or shave excision, sclerotherapy, corticosteroid injections, and imiquimod 5% cream. Timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution has been used as a noninvasive topical treatment for PG in the pediatric population.Objective: To present a case of successful treatment of a recalcitrant PG with topical timolol, and to report on the current literature for similar cases.Case Presentation: We present a case of a 40-year-old healthy female who developed a biopsy-proven PG on her index finger. This is the first reported case to successfully use tangential biopsy and electrodessication followed by twice daily topical Timolol to treat recalcitrant PG.Conclusions: This case supports the use of 0.5% Timolol ophthalmic solution and demonstrates that it is a safe and economical therapy for adult patients with recurrent PGs. A review of the current literature is discussed, and supports timolol as an easy and economical therapy option.

<p class="abstract">Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare chronic autoimmune skin disease characterized by a flaccid blister filled with clear fluid that arises on the skin or an erythematous base. The keratinocytes separated by the desmoglein present on the desmosomes which clinically manifests as fluid-filled blisters on the skin. We present pemphigus vulgaris with an unknown cause but good recovery after the management with monoclonal antibodies and corticosteroids in a 30-year-old male patient who came to the hospital with complaints of blisters on the epithelial layers of skin on the face and oral mucosa.</p>

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) – also known as lobular capillary hemangioma – is a benign vascular tumour that occurs on the skin and mucous membranes. Genital warts—also known as condylomata acuminata—are raised lesions that develop on the skin and mucous membranes after infection with some types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Trichloroacetic acid is very often used, given the availability of the product and its low price. We report an original case of pyogenic granuloma, by its etiology and location. A 33-year-old patient developed a pyogenic granuloma on the scrotum following treatment of a condyloma with trichloroacetic acid. To the best of our knowledge, it’s the first case of PG secondary to the application of trichloroacetic acid for the treatment of a scrotal condyloma published in the literature.

Background: Steven Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare disease that is characterized by acute cutaneous manifestation represented by eruptions of the skin and the mucosal membranes. SJS is an immune-mediated disease, a hypersensitive reaction, characterized by hyperpigmentation of the mucous membranes, rash on the skin and multiple bullae and erosions scattered all over the body especially the face, trunk, and the extremities. Many studies reported that the incidence rate of the SJS was about 1.2 – 6 cases/ million each year and it is more common among males while the toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is more common among females. In addition to the cutaneous manifestations.SJS might show multiple systemic manifestations including the liver, lungs and kidneys. In this case we reported the development of Steven Johnson syndrome in relation to the use of lamotrigine antiepileptic drug.

Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune intraepithelial blistering disease involving the skin and mucous membranes. Oral mucosa is frequently affected in patients with PV, and oral lesions may be the first sign of the disease in majority of patients. In some patients, oral lesions may also be followed by skin involvement. Therefore, timely recognition and therapy of oral lesions is critical as it may prevent skin involvement. Early oral lesions of PV are, however, often regarded as difficult to diagnose, since the initial oral lesions may be relatively nonspecific, manifesting as superficial erosions or ulcerations, and rarely presenting with the formation of intact bullae. Lesions may occur anywhere on the oral mucosa including gingiva; however; desquamtive gingivitis is less common with PV than other mucocutaneous conditions such as pemphigoid or lichen planus. This paper describes the case of a patient presenting with a one-year history of painful gingival, who is finally diagnosed as having PV.

Abstract:Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. It is a tumour-like growth of the oral cavity, which usually arises in response to nonspecific infection. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, this case report describes a pyogenic granuloma in a 59-year-old male patient, discussing the clinical features and histopathologic features that distinguish this lesion from other similar oral mucosa lesions and also the successful management of the lesion.
