Abstract

Intravenous pyogenic granuloma represents a variant of the common pyogenic granuloma in which the capillary proliferation is entirely confined to the lumen of a vein. To our knowledge, this entity is rare and only a few cases have been reported before in the hand. We present a case of intravenous pyogenic granuloma of the hand and a review of this entity from previous published cases.
