- Topical imiquimod cream was administered as the therapeutic agent.
Findings:
- Successful treatment of pyogenic granulomas was achieved using topical imiquimod cream.
- Excellent clinical outcomes were observed in both pediatric patients.
Implications:
- Topical imiquimod cream represents a potential non-surgical treatment option for pediatric pyogenic granulomas.
- This method may be particularly beneficial for infants and young children where surgical risks are higher.
Abstract:
Pyogenic granulomas are sometimes difficult to treat in children, especially very young children in whom surgical procedures may be difficult. Here, we present two children with pyogenic granuloma who were successfully treated by topical imiquimod cream with excellent results.
