“…lips and mucosal membranes such as gingiva, buccal mucosa, nasal mucosa and laryngeal mucosa are also common sites, as in our patient [15][16][17]. In our differential diagnosis, we were most concerned about other neoplasms, in particular melanoma and bacillary angiomatosis, both of which may resemble a PG [18][19][20]. We have had a pediatric patient with an apparent PG on the earlobe which did not respond to cryosurgery.…”

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular neoplasm most often evident as a rapidly developing solitary, sessile, or polypoid vascular nodule or tumor prone to ulceration or hemorrhage. Bleeding may be episodic, copious, and refractory to pressure, mandating treatment, particularly when on the lip. We describe a 14-year-old adolescent with a PG of the lower lip that responded to carbon dioxide slush cryosurgery, an option that may be of considerable value in a resource-poor country (Adv Clin Exp Med 2014, 23, 1, 5-7).
