“…Lobular capillary hemangioma/pyogenic granuloma (LCH-PG) is the most common vascular tumor of childhood. 3 In our survey period, approximately 40% of all vascular lesions were LCH-PGs and represented approximately 20% of all mesenchymal tumors in young individuals (Table 2). In a pediatric dermatologic surgery series, 3% of cases were LCH-PGs, whereas melanocytic nevi by comparison constituted 50% of the total of 596 lesions.…”

“…Vascular lesions, whether collectively designated as vascular anomalies in the lexicon of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies, or as one of the multiple types of “hemangiomas” are the most common mesenchymal tumors presenting in the first 2 decades of life (Table 2). 3–5 Slightly less than 10% of all skin biopsies or excisions performed in the 2-year survey period were for one or another type of vascular anomaly (Table 1). It is generally acknowledged that vascular lesions can be separated into those which are alterations in the normal vascular development and formation and are regarded as malformations; some of these occur as an isolated lesion with localization to a single site or as a manifestation of a more complex and generalized disorder.…”

“…1 In another series of children attending a dermatology clinic with “nonmelanocytic skin tumors,” almost 20% of cases were LCH-PGs. 3 It is estimated that 0.5% to 1% of children develop a LCH-PG by 16 years of age. 4 However, LCH-PGs are known to occur throughout the life span, but the peak age at diagnosis occurs between 10 and 19 years and diminishes in the subsequent decades of life.…”

This overview of mesenchymal tumors presenting in the skin and/or subcutis in children brings together the range of neoplasms and hamartomas which are seen in this age-group. It is not surprising from the perspective of the pediatric or general surgical pathologist that vascular anomalies, including true neoplasms and vascular malformations, are the common phenotypic category. Since there is considerable morphologic overlap among these lesions, clinicopathologic correlation may be more important than for many of the other mesenchymal tumors. The skin and subcutis are the most common sites of clinical presentation for the infantile myofibroma which is the most common of fibrous mesenchymal tumors in children. Several of the other mesenchymal tumors are more common adults-like dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, but nonetheless have an important presence in children, even as a congenital neoplasm. A lipomatous tumor in a young child should be considered as a possible manifestation of an overgrowth syndrome.

“…It is recommended to perform a biopsy from non-pigmented skin tumors to clarify the diagnosis and provide the most accurate treatment approach. 8 Nevus sebaceous, pilomatrixoma, and pyogenic granuloma were the most frequently detected benign skin tumors. Our results are consistent with the literature and incredibly similar to the study of Tükenmez et al 8 , 9 …”

Objective: Since skin diseases may show atypical presentation in children, histopathological evaluation plays a more critical role. The aim of this study is to determine the diagnoses that are finalized after the histopathological evaluation, which departments are frequently consulted, and the methods of follow-up in pediatric dermatology. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on pediatric and adolescent patients whose biopsy was taken after evaluation in the pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic for 42 months. Results: Of the pediatric patients whose histopathological evaluation was made, 16.7% were consulted to other departments and 70.8% were followed up in the pediatric dermatology clinic with different methods. According to the histopathological evaluation results, 91.9% of the lesions were benign, 5.6% were premalignant, and only 1.5% were malignant. Three patients (1.5%) with malignant lesions in our pediatric dermatology clinic were followed up with pediatric dermatology and pediatric hematology. In comparison, premalignant lesions of 3 patients were excised in pediatric dermatology surgery; 6 patients were excised in plastic surgery, 1 patient in pediatric surgery, and 1 patient in ophthalmology. Conclusion: Pediatric dermatology is a department that should have pediatric dermatopathology and pediatric dermatosurgery units in itself. It is crucial to be in the teamwork for consultations and follow-ups after histopathological examinations.

Background: Pyogenic granuloma (PG), or lobular capillary hemangioma, poses a clinical challenge with its uncertain etiology and treatment options. Although the clinical features and prevalence of PGs are well established, definitive evidence-based treatments remain elusive. This practical review aims to illuminate the complexities of PG management by analyzing surgical interventions based on literature analysis. Methods: A PubMed/Medline search of “pyogenic granuloma” and “surgery” yielded 1171 studies. Inclusion criteria targeted intervention-associated PG complications over 5% and treatment modalities, excluding nonclinical studies and topics unrelated to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Screening involved Oxford level of evidence, patient data extraction, complications, intervention types, success rates, sessions, follow-ups, and treatments. Results: Thirty-one studies met inclusion criteria. Most studies were retrospective (67.7%). Ten studies satisfied intervention-linked eruptions, primarily oculoplastic, whereas 21 investigated both surgical and nonsurgical treatment modalities. Across interventions, 3579 patients (age: 34.2–85.7 years) were involved. Postsurgical PG complications averaged 15.1% and were treated predominantly with surgical excision, achieving nearly complete resolution. Surgical and nonsurgical treatment studies included 1233 patients (age: 3–46.5 years), demonstrating a 68.2% average resolution after a single session, with surgical excision exhibiting the highest success rate (96.2%) and minimal complications. Conclusions: This practical review highlights the complexities of managing PG, emphasizing a spectrum of effective treatments and potential postoperative complications. Ophthalmologic procedures showed PG incidences of 9%–24.4%. Surgical excision proved highly effective, surpassing methods like lasers and injectables that exhibited varied success rates requiring multiple treatment sessions. Challenges included study diversity and varying evidence levels, warranting further comparative research for PG management strategies.
