Eruptive pyogenic granulomas developing after drug hypersensitivity reaction.
Lobular capillary hemangioma or pyogenic granuloma is a fairly common vascular tumor in the pediatric age group. The eruption of multiple pyogenic granulomas is a previously documented but uncommon phenomenon. We present a patient with disseminated pyogenic granulomas occurring after a drug hypersensitivity reaction, and address possible pathogenic factors related to their formation.
