Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma is a misnomer as it is a benign vascular tumour of skin and mucous membranes but not associated with pus formation and histologically the lesion is composed of granulation tissue. A 10-year-old boy presented with lid mass in left upper eyelid margin for last 2 months. It was insidious in onset but rapidly progressive in nature. On examination it was a smooth surfaced, red-purple coloured, sessile painless soft lobulated mass of 10mm * 10mm * 6mm in size, present in the middle of upper eyelid margin. The overlying skin shows excoriation. Excision of the swelling was done and the sample was sent for histopathological examination. Histopathology report shows features of capillary hemangioma.
