Recurrent intraoral pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis treated with corticosteroids

Oral Dis. 2006 Jan;12(1):70-2. doi: 10.1111/j.1601-0825.2005.01158.x.

Abstract

The development of recurrent pyogenic granulomas as multiple satellite lesions has not been reported in the oral cavity. This report describes an unusual case of intraoral pyogenic granuloma recurring multiple times after surgical excisions with the formation of satellite lesions. Due to failure of surgical management, an alternative approach was taken. We illustrate how the lesions were successfully treated with a series of intralesional corticosteroid injections.
