Recurrence of scalp pyogenic granuloma with satellitosis in 4.5-Year-Old Boy

Abstract

The patient was 4.5-year-old boy presented by an erythematous nodule in occiput that bleeds easily. He sought medical attention, and after each session of treatment, several nodules appear adjacent to the first lesion. Pyogenic granuloma (PG) recurrence at the site of treatment can occur, but satellitosis is a rare complication. PG satellitosis usually occurs in the site of pressure or trauma, but the patient did not mention any history of trauma.
