[Pseudopyogenic granuloma of the ear. Report of case and comments].
The authors have recently come across a female patient with pseudo-pyogenic granuloma and have taken this opportunity to recall the clinical and histological features of this disease which was described in 1969 by Wilson Jones and Bleehein. In this connection, they have studied the relationship of this disease with similar entities, i.e. subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (described by Wells and Whinster in 1969) on the one hand and kimura's disease (described by Kimura in 1948) on the other hand. Whereas subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia seems to be an evolutive form developing from pseudopyogenic granuloma, Kimura's disease differs from it clinically and histologically and is considered as a borderline form.
