title: [Pyogenic granuloma of the thumb following the bite of a sheep].
abstract: In the case of a patient with a large pyogenic granuloma of the thumb about three months after the bite of a sheep, we covered the defect after resection with a split thickness skin graft. Although at first amputation was discussed, after a few months a very good functional and aesthetic result was achieved.
