Warner and Wilson-Jones syndrome

Abstract

Recurrent pyogenic granuloma with satellite lesions is also known as Warner and Wilson-Jones syndrome. Local recurrences do occur but presenting with multiple satellite lesions is very rare. We provide a characteristic clinical image and microphotographs of a case of pyogenic granuloma with satellitoses in an 18-year-old male who presented with a painful erythematous nodule on his back in interscapular region. A punch biopsy was taken from the lesion and it showed features of pyogenic granuloma. Combining clinical and microscopic features, a final diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma with satellite lesions was made. Surgeons excised the lesion and skin grafting was done which healed well. Three years follow-up of the patient was uneventful
