Pyogenic granuloma: yet another motorcycle peril

Postgrad Med. 2012 Nov;124(6):124-6. doi: 10.3810/pgm.2012.11.2617.

Abstract

Death and injuries from riding motorcycles have been well documented. We describe a case of pyogenic granuloma that we feel was indirectly related to a motorcycle accident. Clinicians should be familiar with both the diagnosis and treatment of this entity.
