Abstract

Background: Recurrent pyogenic granuloma with multiple satellite lesions is a rare and benign condition; its diagnosis may be clinically evoked from a characteristic natural history.

Case reports: Two 12 year-old boys developed multiple small cutaneous lesions following removal of pyogenic granuloma, at the periphery of the scar. A CO2 laser treatment was decided in one case, and therapeutic abstention in the other one.

Conclusion: Our two cases completely fit with the classical features of such a condition that generally clears spontaneously. This syndrome must be known because of its "pseudo-metastatic" clinical features, which may mislead the physician.
