Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a common benign vascular tumour which affect both skin and mucous membranes, occurring commonly on the face, oral mucosa, or a site of previous injury in all ages. Though some PGs resolve spontaneously, most requires treatment to prevent bleeding, ulceration, and scarring. We presented a case report of 4 patients who developed PG on index finger, forehead and nose. Our findings demonstrated the use of sclerotherapy using 3% sodium tetradecyl sulphate which is a safe and economical therapy for adult patients.
