“…Currently, parents and their relatives prefer conservative treatment for children with PGs rather than surgical excision, considering the presence of scars after surgery and the induction of general anesthesia during surgical excision. Sclerotherapy has been used with success in hemangiomas and other vascular malformations, 14,15 because it acts through the endothelial cell damage and obliterates the vessel lumina. Accordingly, sclerosing agents are also used in the treatment of PGs.…”

BACKGROUND Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign vascular lesion that is commonly observed in the skin and mucosa. Sclerotherapy is the first-line conservative treatment option for PG. OBJECTIVE This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of sclerotherapy with 1.0% polidocanol for the treatment of PG. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients who were clinically diagnosed with PG consecutively at the Pediatric Outpatient Service of Qilu Children's Hospital of Shandong University from March 2018 to October 2019 received sclerotherapy with 1.0% polidocanol. RESULT The procedure resulted in the complete excision of PG, with inconspicuous scars. The procedure was well-tolerated, and recurrence was not observed. Allergic reactions, cutaneous necrosis, and pigmentary changes were not observed. CONCLUSION Sclerotherapy with 1.0% polidocanol is considered an effective treatment for PGs in children. Early treatment was associated with a more favorable outcome.
