Urethral pyogenic granuloma in an adult patient: Presentation and management

Pyogenic granulomas (PGs) are benign vascular tumors that are commonly found on cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. However, mucosal PGs are rarely found in the urogenital tract.

Zusammenfassung:Pyogenic granulomas (PGs) are benign vascular tumors that are commonly found on cutaneous and mucosal surfaces. However, mucosal PGs are rarely found in the urogenital tract.
