Multiple pyogenic granulomata in childhood.

Multiple pyogenic granulomata are rare. Satellite lesions are infrequently associated with trauma to or treatment of the primary lesion. Rare cases of disseminated pyogenic granulomata have been reported. We report the occurrence of numerous, discrete, pyogenic granulomata in two young boys at locations remote from the primary excision site, and review the literature on multiple pyogenic granulomata. In patient no. 1, new lesions seemed to develop from 2- to 4-mm capillary hemangiomas both within and outside of a port-wine stain. Patient no. 2 involves a previously unreported occurrence of numerous facial lesions.
