title: Treatment of giant pyogenic granuloma with the Nd/YAG holmium laser: a case report.
abstract: Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common vascular tumor that can be treated using various means. However, some large lesions and those located on some difficult-to-treat body sites may represent a formidable selection to the clinician because of the residual pain after treatment, difficulties in surgical excision at one trial and covering with one dressing, and the risk of sequelae. We report a successful treatment of such a giant lesion that arises in the scar which was left because of port wine stain, using a Nd/YAG holmium pulsed dye laser.
