Pyogenic granuloma (PG), also called a lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular proliferation of skin or mucous membrane. It classically presents as a solitary friable nodule over the face or distal extremities. Multiple disseminated PG is a rare form generally reported after trauma such as burn injury. We report two cases of spontaneous development of multiple localized PGs in immunocompetent individuals.
