| Abstract |
|
Granuloma pyogenicum is an acutely and chronically inflamed granulation tissue protruded on conjunctiva, cornea, limbus and lid, which results from surgical trauma, foreign body, microbial infection or parasite as well as spontaneous occurrence. It rapidly enlarges forming painless polypoid mass, and consists of many inflammatory cells and characteristically well-developed capillaries. It can be frequently misinterpreted as squamous cell carcinoma or other tumor. Treatment is radical excision and electric fulguration followed by suture. The authors experenced a case of granuloma pyogenicum occurred after removal of pterygium. |
