title: Pyogenic granuloma in children. Treatment with the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser.
abstract: Pyogenic granuloma, a rapidly developing, benign vascular nodule often arising in children at sites of trauma in the skin or mucous membrane, was treated successfully with flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser in three pediatric patients. Excellent cosmetic results were obtained. The authors suggest that the flashlamp-pumped pulsed dye laser be considered as yet another effective modality in the treatment of pyogenic granuloma.
