Disease relevance of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• Paronychia and pyogenic granuloma of the great toes in patients treated with indinavir [1].
• Surprisingly, a tight co-expression of C5aR and IL-6 mRNA was observed in keratinocytes from lesions of pyogenic granuloma and lichen planus [2].
• Pigs that received i.p. autologous feces developed an early acute peritonitis phase with lower levels of circulating LPS, and later developed pronounced peritoneal reaction as demonstrated by multiple abdominal abscesses, pyogenic granuloma formation, and adhesions with physiological evidence of developing sepsis over 72 h [3].
• CONCLUSIONS: The clinical appearance of isolated gingival metastasis from HCC in the present case mimicked a pyogenic granuloma [4].
• Immunohistochemistry and/or polymerase chain reaction for herpesvirus 8 can reliably distinguish pyogenic granuloma from Kaposi's sarcoma, an important differential diagnosis [5].

High impact information on Granuloma, Pyogenic

• CONCLUSION: Persistent orbital discomfort, discharge, and the development of a pyogenic granuloma after hydroxyapatite implant should warn the ophthalmic surgeon of potential implant infection [6].
• Lobular capillary hemangioma. An immunohistochemical study including steroid hormone receptor status [7].
• Pyogenic granuloma: an unusual complication of papaverine injection therapy for impotence [8].
• He was diagnosed clinically as having a giant pyogenic granuloma and was given antibiotics as well as silver nitrate sticks to cauterize the wound daily [9].
• Treatment of pyogenic granuloma by sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• Alitretinoin gel to treat pyogenic granuloma [11].
• OBJECTIVE: In this study, the efficacy of a sclerosing agent (monoethanolamine oleate) was evaluated for the treatment of pyogenic granuloma [12].
• METHODS: Pyogenic granuloma was treated by local injection of the monoethanolamine oleate solution in nine patients who were from 1 to 57 years of age (median 18 years) [12].
• Cutaneous seeding of hepatocellular carcinoma due to percutaneous ethanol injection and masquerading as a pyogenic granuloma [13].
• A rare side-effect of systemic isotretinoin treatment: pyogenic granuloma [14].

Biological context of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• We propose the hypothesis that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) play pathologic roles in the development of ectopic bone formation in pyogenic granuloma [15].

Anatomical context of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• Metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma of gingiva mimicking pyogenic granuloma [16].
• In both patients the lesions were positive for CD31, CD34, smooth muscle actin, and factor VIII related antigen, a profile typical of KS-like pyogenic granuloma [17].
• Problems encountered with the peg were discharge in 10 (14.7%) patients, pyogenic granuloma in 9 (13.2%), conjunctiva overgrowing the peg in 4 (5.8%), hydroxyapatite exposure around the sleeve in 3 (4.4%), loose sleeve in 3 (4.4%), peg drilled on an angle in 1 (1.5%), implant infection in 1 (1.5%), and peg falling out in 1 (1.5%) [18].
• The palatally chamfered fracture of a maxillary primary incisor together with the continuous sucking of a dummy could have caused the special shape of the pyogenic granuloma over the remaining coronal fragment [19].
• These tissues were from normal tongue, gingiva, lip, and submandibular gland, and from Dilantin gingival hyperplasia (one case), pyogenic granuloma (three cases), peripheral fibroma (four cases), squamous cell carcinoma (seven cases), chronic sclerosing submandibular adenitis (two cases), and fibrous dysplasia of the mandibular bone (one case) [20].

Gene context of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• The roles of vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-2 in the regression of pregnancy pyogenic granuloma [21].
• In vascular tumors, CTGF mRNA was expressed in pyogenic granuloma but not in angiosarcoma [22].
• Expression of Tie-2, angiopoietin-1, angiopoietin-2, ephrinB2 and EphB4 in pyogenic granuloma of human gingiva implicates their roles in inflammatory angiogenesis [23].
• Cases of pyogenic granuloma in pregnant women, nonpregnant women, and men were evaluated for the detection of estrogen and progesterone receptor proteins by immunoperoxidase staining [24].
• RESULTS: The pyogenic granuloma group expressed significantly more VEGF and bFGF than healthy gingiva and periodontitis [25].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Granuloma, Pyogenic

• The results of immunofluorescence microscopy were positive with basic fibroblast growth factor staining in the tissues of pyogenic granuloma, Kaposi's sarcoma and MHE [26].
