ABSTRACT

Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, describes a benign vascular tumor with rapid growth and a friable surface that most commonly appears spontaneously on mucosal and cutaneous surfaces. Typically, pyogenic granulomas present as a painless mass with recurrent bleeding on the head, trunk, or limbs. These lesions can present at any age but are most common in children and young adults. Pyogenic granulomas rarely self-resolve and are often complicated by repeated episodes of bleeding. As a result, surgical treatment is the preferred option of management in most cases. I publish a preschool child with genital vascular lesion.
