چکیده

There are a few reports on the rare association between it and port wine stain, but there is no clear description of an association with neurofibromatosis type 1 in the literature.

He was treated with shave excision and electrocautery with clearance and no recurrence of pyogenic granuloma for the last 5 years follow-up.
