[[Image:granultion tissue histology.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Granulation tissue (Courtesty of BioMed Archive)]]
* Is completlely different to [[Granulomatous Inflammation|granulomatous inflammation]], despite the similarity in name!
* Occurs on the surface of the skin where large areas of the epithelium have been lost.
* Makes up the lining of sinus tracts discharging from deeper lesions.
* Takes its name from the gross appearance of the small vessels which appear at the surface.
** Look like red granules.
** These vessels supply inflammatory cells, mainly [[Neutrophils|neutrophils]], to the infected surface.
* The most frequent example in domestic animals is the formation of excessive granulation tissue on the legs of horses with poorly healing wounds.
** "Proud flesh"
* Ulcers and open wounds may heal by granulation.
