“…The management of recurrent pyogenic granulomas may be a challenge with these available treatment options. One case report which described a case of conjunctival pyogenic granuloma (limbus) was treated with routine excision, excision with cautery, thiotepa therapy and beta irradiation, excision with non-reactive suture material and topically applied steroids all failed to prevent its recurrence 16…”

Recurrence of lobular capillary haemangioma of conjunctiva after surgical excision is rare but sometimes it may be difficult to manage multiple recurrences. A 31-year-old female patient presented with recurrent polypoid conjunctival lobular capillary haemangioma. Excisional biopsy was performed, followed by eye drop mitomycin C 0.04% four times a day for 1 week postoperatively. She reported again after 3 months with recurrence of vascular elongated nodular lesion. Excision of the mass with application of mitomycin C 0.02% intraoperatively for 1 min and cryotherapy using double thaw technique of the peripheral conjunctival margin was done. The histopathological examination confirmed the recurrence of lobular capillary haemangioma. On review, 1 year after treatment there was no evidence of recurrence. A combined use of cryotherapy and intraoperative mitomycin C as adjunctive therapy after surgical excision can successfully prevent further recurrence without any adverse effect.

Introduction: Pyogenic granuloma is an excessive fibroproliferative tissue occurring on the ocular surface after any minor injury or surgery. It is not often reported after Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) excision. Case Report: We report a case of OSSN in a 38-year-old patient that was managed by excision biopsy and post -op mitomycin C. While on treatment patient presented with a rapidly developing fleshy mass. On excision biopsy the mass was revealed to be fibro-proliferative granulation tissue and diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. We did a pubmed literature search for pyogenic granuloma on ocular surface and reviewed all the articles. Conclusion: Pyogenic granuloma occurring post excision of OSSN poses difficulty in diagnosis and needs an aggressive management regime to rule out recurrence of OSSN before diagnosing it as a more benign pyogenic granuloma.

BackgroundPyogenic granuloma is an excessive proliferation of granulation tissue that usually develops after minor trauma or surgery. Ocular involvement usually happens on the external surface and cornea is rarely involved. The objective of our report is to describe the clinicopathological feature of this rare disease and give insight on clinical features that help in the diagnosis.Case ReportThis report presents a case of a four year old child who had fleshy growth of one week duration on the right eye after seven weeks of pain and redness. Slit lamp examination showed vascularized central corneal mass with surrounding stromal infiltrates. The mass was excised, and histopathological examination confirmed pyogenic granuloma of the cornea.ConclusionCorneal pyogenic granuloma could be a rare complication of infectious keratitis. Therefore, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis in corneal mass especially after an infection or trauma.
