Abstract
Pulse Granuloma also known as Hyaline Angiopathy is a rare but benign lesion, foreign body reaction to vegetable particle being the probable aetiology. The patient presented with recurrent intestinal obstruction and partial excision of small bowel was performed and specimen sent for histopathological examination. The microscopy showed mixed inflammatory cells, foreign body giant cells, convoluted hyaline rings, vegetable matter and areas of fibrosis. Most of the reported cases are in oral cavity or lungs and very few cases were reported in gastrointestinal tract and still rare in small intestine. Barring low incidence of the lesion, the characteristic histology reveals the lesion which avoids erroneous diagnosis, delay in diagnosis and thus helps in proper management of the case. Treatment of Pulse granuloma is excision.
