Treatment of pyogenic granulomas with the Nd-YAG laser.

Pyogenic granuloma is a common vascular tumour that can be treated by various means. However, some large lesions and those located on some difficult-to-treat body sites may represent a difficult challenge to the clinician (residual pain after treatment, difficult to cover with a dressing, or risk of sequelae). We report the successful treatment of such lesions in three patients using the Nd-YAG laser.
