Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign, rapidly growing, eruptive hemangioma that often bleeds and ulcerates. Common causes are mechanical trauma and cast immobilization. Drugs such as retinoids and antineoplastic agents are sometimes involved. We report here five cases of pyogenic granuloma probabely associated with either antipsychotic or antiepileptic drugs.
