Case Discussion

Pyogenic granuloma is also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, and is a benign vascular lesion characterized by vague lobules of capillary channels arranged around larger "feeder" vessels. These are common skin and mucosal lesions, often presenting in children and young adults, as a solitary, glistening red papule or nodule, with “hamburger meat” appearance. Bleeding and ulceration are common.
