Abstract
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a commonly occurring nonneoplastic inflammatory lesion in the oral cavity. Recent reports have demonstrated a rare association between skin PG and port-wine stain (PWS). Various treatment modalities such as complete excision, curettage, cryotherapy, chemical and electric cauterizations, lasers, and intralesional corticosteroids have been used to treat the lesion. In this case report, we present a novel method for the treatment of recurrent PG in a woman with concurrent presentation of PWS. In this patient, sclerotherapy with sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS) was used as a treatment modality with successful resolution of the lesion. The authors thus conclude that sclerotherapy with STS can be an effective alternative for the treatment of recurrent PG associated with PWS.
