Pyogenic granuloma, also known as lobular capillary hemangioma, is a benign vascular lesion that primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is not pyogenic; nor is it granulomatous. It typically arises in response to local trauma or surgery, irritation, hormonal changes, or chronic inflammation, and it sometimes occurs spontaneously. The occurrence of pigmented pyogenic granuloma in the conjunctiva and cornea without any history of trauma or surgery is extremely rare, particularly in children. We report the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and successful management of bilateral biopsy-proven conjunctival and corneal pigmented isolated pyogenic granuloma in an 11-year-old girl. No signs of recurrence were seen at the 3-months follow-up.
化脓性肉芽肿,亦称小叶状毛细血管瘤,是一种主要影响皮肤和黏膜的良性血管性病变。它不是化脓性的,也不是肉芽肿性的。它通常是由于局部创伤或手术、刺激、激素变化或慢性炎症而引起,有时也会自发发生。在没有任何创伤或手术史的情况下,结膜和角膜出现色素性化脓性肉芽肿极为罕见,特别是在儿童中。我们报告了一例 11 岁女孩双侧经活检证实的结膜和角膜色素性孤立性化脓性肉芽肿的临床表现、诊断评估和成功治疗。在 3 个月的随访中未发现复发迹象。
