Pyogenic granuloma on a dermis fat graft in acquired anophthalmic orbits.
We treated exposure of the orbital implant with a dermis fat graft in two patients with an acquired anophthalmic orbit. During the first six postoperative months, a large polypoid tumor of the conjunctiva developed over the grafted tissue in each patient. Histologic examination of both lesions disclosed a pyogenic granuloma.
