Treatment of pyogenic granulomas with the Nd‐YAG laser

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a common vascular tumour that can be treated by various means. However, some large lesions and those located on some difficult‐to‐treat body sites may represent a difficult challenge to the clinician (residual pain after treatment, difficult to cover with a dressing, or risk of sequelae). We report the successful treatment of such lesions in three patients using the Nd‐YAG laser.
