Multiple Disseminated Pyogenic Granuloma Post-Oil Burning: A Review of Literature

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common acquired vascular tumor and may appear mostly as a solitary papulonodular lesion on the face, trunk, and extremities. Although the etiology of PG is unclear, trauma, infections, and hormones may play a role. Multiple disseminated PGs are a very rare form and mostly are seen after traumas such as burn. We presented a patient with multiple PGs secondary to oil burning. There has been no report of PG caused by scald burn due to oil before. We also reviewed the literature in English and found 24 other cases of disseminated PG that most of them developed post-boiling milk.
