MENES DE ARMAS, Rigoberto; MARIN MEDINA, Lenia  e  DE LA TORRE CASTELLóN, Silvia. Unilateral Onychocryptosis Associated with Pyogenic Granuloma. A Case Report. Medisur [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.5, pp. 741-750. ISSN 1727-897X.

Not all growths associated with onychocryptosis and located on the ungueal labia are pyogenic granulomas, since in most cases they are fibrous proliferations caused by the reparative response of the body. Hence, we decided to present the case of a patient with onychocryptosis associated with pyogenic granuloma diagnosed earlier in the Orthopedics Department of the Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima University General Hospital of Cienfuegos. This patient attended the Podiatry consultation of the Medical Sciences Subsidiary Faculty due to recurrence. Phenol and alcohol procedure was performed with positive results.
