  • Pyogenic granuloma is one of the common benign vascular tumors of infants and children and it can also occur in adults. There are 25 reports of patients with pyogenic granuloma in the Korean medical literature. In three reports, giant pyogenic granuloma developed over 2 cm in size ($1.3{\times}0.7cm$, $1.2{\times}0.8cm$ and $1.1{\times}0.7cm$, respectively). There have been no reports in the Korean medical literature of pyogenic granuloma over 2 cm in size. Herein, we report on a giant pyogenic granuloma on the palm of a 72-year old female. The lesion was of an unusually large size of $2.8{\times}2.5{\times}1.3cm$ and we excised it by performing electrosurgery.

  • The soft tissue tumors that occur commonly in newborn infants include palatal and gingival cyst of the newborn, congenital epulis, hemangioma, teratoma, pyogenic granuloma, and irritation fibroma. Such soft tissue tumors in the alveolar ridge of newborns are usually treated by surgical excision. If untreated, they can cause airway obstruction and breathing difficulty due to aspiration. They also cause discomfort during oral feeding. If nasal feeding is tried, since vomitting is impossible, there is a risk of aspiration pneumonia. In this case, a newborn infant visited our hospital with soft tissue tumor as chief complaint, and the infant was treated by surgical excision. It appeared to be similar to pyogenic granuloma and irritation fibroma upon histologic exam. However, it was different from those diseases since multinucleated giant cells were observed and it was congenital. The pathologic process of this neoplasm is not clear. This case is reported, since it is difficult to classify it as a specific disease.

  • The lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) was previously known to pyogenic granuloma and is benign vascular lesion which grows rapidly on skin and mucosa. It arises from whole body, but oral and nasal cavities are most predilection sites in the head and neck area. The laryngeal LCH looks like a granulomatous lesion of posterior glottis and its common etiology are tracheal intubation and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease etc. The LCH in larynx can cause blood tinged sputum and lump sense. The lesions refractory to medical therapy or causing dyspnea may require surgical excision. A 74-year-old man who presented gradually aggravated dyspnea, lump sensation and hoarseness of one month came to our hospital. The stroboscopic examination revealed large well-margined glottic mass. It was excised with $CO_2$ laser and finally diagnosed as LCH. We present a rare unique case of glottic LCH with a review of literatures.

  • The incidence of lung cancer and its mortality rate are increasing in Korea. At the time of diagnosis, 40% patients of lung cancer patients had metastatic lesions. The common metastatic sites are the contralateral lung, bone, liver, adrenal gland and the brain. Metastasis to oral mucosa is rarely encountered in lung cancer and metastasis to the gingiva is more uncommon. Approximately 1% of malignant carcinomas in the oral cavity are the result of metastases, and 10-25% of metastatic cancers originate from lung cancer. Clinically metastatic gingival lesions are benign including hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, giant-cell granuloma or a peripheral fibroma. Often metastases to the gingiva are diagnosed too late and by the time they are detected, they have metastases to other organs. Here we report a case of small cell lung carcinoma that had metastased to the gingiva with review of relevant literature.
