Recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis.
The development of recurrent pyogenic granulomas as multiple satellite lesions is rare and often associated with trauma or treatment of the primary lesion. At least 34 cases of such lesions after various treatment modalities have been reported, but none occurred in conjunction with laser therapy. We report a case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellite lesions that developed after carbon-dioxide laser excision of a previously recurrent lesion.
