Pyogenic granuloma of the epiglottis

Abstract: The lobular capillary hemangioma, commonly known as pyogenic granuloma, is a common benign vascular lesion arising from both cutaneous and mucosal sites. The lesion is prevalent in the pediatric population, although airway involvement is rare. To date localization to a supraglottic subsite remains unreported in the literature. Here we describe a unique case of pyogenic granuloma arising from the epiglottis of a three year-old patient.
