Abstract
This case report presents a 12-year-old girl with a papule on her cheek that had been evolving for three months. The papule was excised, and histopathological examination revealed a pyogenic granuloma characterized by vascular proliferation in loose conjunctival tissue. This case highlights the importance of considering pyogenic granuloma in the differential diagnosis of persistent skin lesions in pediatric patients.
