Pyogenic granuloma is characterized by recurrence and bleeding with minimal trauma. Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in the differential diagnosis of pyogenic granulomas and the choice of treatment method.</p> <p>In this clinical observation, we present a case of successful laser treatment of a 3-year-old patient with pyogenic granuloma of the skin in the right temporal region. Ultrasound examination in color Doppler mapping mode visualized a single vessel up to 0.09 cm in diameter approaching the base of the pyogenic granuloma, which had an antegrade monophasic intermediate-resistance blood flow spectrum with a linear velocity of 17.7 cm/sec in pulsed-wave in mode. One session of Nd:YAG laser therapy was performed under local application anesthesia Lidocaine 25 mg/g + Prilocaine 25 mg/g. After laser photodestruction, a control ultrasound examination was performed, during which the feeding vessel was not detected. The follow-up period was 2 years, no relapse was noted.</p> <p>When ultrasound visualizes single vessels approaching the base of the pyogenic granuloma with a diameter of less than 0.5–1.0 mm, laser therapy methods can be used. In the case of multiple vessels approaching the base of the formation and vessels of larger diameter, preference is given to traditional methods of surgical removal followed by histological and immunohistochemical examination.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Пиогенная гранулёма, также известная как лобулярная капиллярная гемангиома, ― приобретённая доброкачественная сосудистая опухоль; обычно представлена единичной папулой или узлом на кожном покрове или слизистой оболочке; у детей чаще всего встречается в возрасте 6–7 лет. Для пиогенной гранулёмы характерны рецидив и кровоточивость, иногда интенсивное кровотечение при минимальной травме. Ультразвуковая картина играет важную роль в дифференциальной диагностике пиогенных гранулём и выборе метода лечения.</p> <p>В данном клиническом наблюдении мы представляем случай успешного лазерного лечения пиогенной гранулёмы кожи правой височной области у пациента в возрасте 3 лет. При ультразвуковом исследовании в режиме цветового допплеровского картирования визуализирован подходящий к основанию пиогенной гранулёмы единичный сосуд диаметром до 0,09 см, имеющий в импульсно-волновом режиме антеградный монофазный промежуточной резистентности спектр кровотока с линейной скоростью 17,7 см/сек. Под местной аппликационной анестезией (крем Лидокаин 25 мг/г + Прилокаин 25 мг/г) проведён один сеанс лазерной терапии Nd:YAG. После лазерной фотодеструкции выполнено контрольное ультразвуковое исследование, на котором питающий сосуд не определялся. Период катамнеза составил 2 года, рецидива не отмечено.</p> <p>При визуализации на ультразвуковом исследовании единично подходящих к основанию пиогенной гранулёмы сосудов диаметром менее 0,5–1,0 мм могут быть применены методы лазерной терапии. В случае множественных подходящих к основанию образования сосудов и сосудов более крупного диаметра предпочтение отдаётся традиционным методам хирургического удаления с последующим гистологическим и иммуногистохимическим исследованием.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>case report</kwd><kwd>pyogenic granuloma</kwd><kwd>lobular capillary hemangioma</kwd><kwd>ultrasonography</kwd><kwd>laser therapy</kwd><kwd>Nd:YAG laser</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>клинический случай</kwd><kwd>пиогенная гранулёма</kwd><kwd>лобулярная капиллярная гемангиома</kwd><kwd>ультрасонография</kwd><kwd>лазерная терапия</kwd><kwd>Nd:YAG-лазер</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>StatPearls [Internet].
