Vascular tumors in children are an important entity for the pediatricians to recognize and correctly diagnose. They may present at birth or develop at any point during infancy, childhood, or adolescence. Most are benign, but even benign lesions may have significant morbidity without proper intervention. Such an entity is undoubtedly pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma. We present a 2.5-year-old boy whose diagnosis with histopathological verification was only made at the age of 28 months after repeated episodes of profuse bleeding from a fragile pyogenic granuloma.
Keywords: pyogenic granuloma, lobular capillary hemangioma, color-doppler ultrasonography, surgical excision, children.
