Ocular pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor that occurs primarily in children. Treatment options for pyogenic conjunctival granulomas include topical steroids, topical timolol, surgery, cryotherapy, and electrocautery. Patients with giant pyogenic granulomas are usually treated with surgical intervention. In this case, a 13-year-old Egyptian girl developed a giant pyogenic granuloma after strabismus surgery. Topical steroids showed a poor response and failed to demonstrate any improvement. While on timolol, the granuloma completely regressed, with no signs of recurrence. Despite the usual surgical approach to the treatment of purulent giant granulomas, we believe that topical timolol can be the preferred option as a noninvasive alternative therapy since it is considered safe when compared to the potential risks of topical steroid therapy or surgical exposure.

We present the endoscopic finding of a juxtapapillary duodenal pyogenic granuloma in a patient under study for chronic recurrent anemia. The images show the presence of an enlarged papilla, with an exophytic growth of erythematous and friable tissue at its lower border. Although this is a very rare entity, it is necessary to take it into account in the differential diagnosis of refractory anemia because there is an effective endoscopic treatment for it.
