Sequential pulsed dye and Nd:YAG laser therapy for deep venous malformation presenting as recurrent Pyogenic granuloma

Pyogenic granuloma may recur when an underlying vascular anomaly remains untreated. We report a case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma of the finger pulp associated with a deep venous malformation successfully treated using sequential dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser (PDL, 585–595 nm) and Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm). Four sessions were performed at three-month intervals (PDL 6 J/cm2; Nd:YAG 50 J/cm2; 10-mm spot; long delay sequential mode) with integrated cooling. Complete clinical resolution was achieved without adverse effects or recurrence after five years. Sequential PDL–Nd:YAG therapy represents an effective etiologic approach for complex vascular lesions involving both superficial and deep components.

Abstract

Pyogenic granuloma may recur when an underlying vascular anomaly remains untreated. We report a case of recurrent pyogenic granuloma of the finger pulp associated with a deep venous malformation successfully treated using sequential dual-wavelength pulsed dye laser (PDL, 585–595 nm) and Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm). Four sessions were performed at three-month intervals (PDL 6 J/cm2; Nd:YAG 50 J/cm2; 10-mm spot; long delay sequential mode) with integrated cooling. Complete clinical resolution was achieved without adverse effects or recurrence after five years. Sequential PDL–Nd:YAG therapy represents an effective etiologic approach for complex vascular lesions involving both superficial and deep components.
