Abstract

Administration, Oral Adrenergic beta-Antagonists - therapeutic use Granuloma, Pyogenic - congenital Granuloma, Pyogenic - drug therapy Humans Infant Male Propranolol - therapeutic use Skin - pathology
Disseminated congenital pyogenic granuloma (DCPG) is an uncommon condition. Individual lesions of DCPG share clinical and histologic similarities with infantile hemangioma (IH); endothelial glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), which is highly expressed in IH but generally not in pyogenic granulomas (PG), is an important diagnostic tool. Treatment for DCPG remains difficult. We describe a case of DCPG effectively treated with propranolol.
