pyogenic granuloma - (pronounced) (PY-oh-JEH-nik GRAN-yoo-LOH-moo) benign (noncancerous) blood vessel tumor that usually forms on the skin. It can also form on mucous membranes and in capillaries (small blood vessels) or other parts of the body. Pyogenic granulomas usually appear as raised, bright red lesions that grow rapidly and may bleed profusely.
