Traumatic aneurysms occurring in the digit are extremely rare. We report a case of a traumatic pseudoaneurysm arising from a terminal branch of the finger artery and presenting as a mixed lesion with pyogenic granuloma that was exposed to the outside of the body and treated surgically.

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular tumor, with a tendency to bleed on manipulation. A young female presented to us with a disfiguring facial pyogenic granuloma. We adopted a novel approach using pressure therapy to treat the same. The use of an elastic adhesive bandage reduced the size and vascularity of the lesion, following which laser ablation was done with minimal bleeding and scarring. This is a simple, inexpensive method to approach large and disfiguring pyogenic granulomas.

BACKGROUND
Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a localized, reddish and vascularized hyperplastic lesion of the connective tissue which occurs in the oral cavity. In most cases, the presence of this lesion does not show alveolar bone resorption. The pathology is diagnosed clinically with some caution. However, the diagnosis and treatment are usually corroborated with histopathological evidence.
CASE SUMMARY
Three clinical cases of PG associated with bone loss were described in this study. The three patients presented tumor-like growth which bled on touch, and were associated with local irritant factors. Radiographs showed bone loss. All cases were treated with conservative surgical excision. The scarring was satisfactory, and there was no case of recurrence. The diagnoses were based on clinical findings, and were confirmed histopathologically.
CONCLUSION
The occurrence of oral PG with bone loss is unusual. Therefore, clinical and radiographic evaluations are important for the diagnosis.

Lobular capillary hemangioma, a benign vascular tumor of the skin or mucous membranes characterized by rapid growth and a friable surface, is widely but inappropriately termed pyogenic granuloma (now considered a misnomer by some theories) due to lack of evidence for infectious etiopathogenesis. Some studies promote the theory of a hyperplastic, neovascular response to an angiogenic stimulus with imbalance of promoters and inhibitors. Here we present a series of 4 cases of patients who visited the Oral Medicine OPD with a complaint of similar painless malformations showing granulomatous and/or fibrous tissue proliferation andwhich, after thorough history taking, clinical examination and excisional biopsy, were revealed to be lobular capillary hemangioma under histopathologic diagnosis. The following discussion revolves around the fact that, even though such exophytic lesions may present with variable features, a proper, accurate and logical diagnostic entity may be used to help in better coordination among the oral physician, oral pathologist and oral surgeon in framing the desired treatment plan.

Head and neck vascular tumors are common in children. Capillary hemangiomas are often easily confused with pyogenic granulomas due to histopathological resemblance. Furthermore, predisposing factors to pyogenic granulomas include an existing hemangioma, which may be co-existing entities. Surgical excision of large unsightly tumors causing functional deficits is a feasible management option. We report a case of a rapidly growing oral lesion in a toddler with feeding difficulties and anemia. It triggered a diagnostic dilemma as it was clinically consistent with a pyogenic granuloma but histologically diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma. It was successfully excised with no recurrence after 6 months.

T-cell-rich angiomatoid polypoid pseudolymphoma (TRAPP) is a rare and recently defined entity, conceptualized just over a decade ago. Recognition of TRAPP is important because it can be clinically and microscopically confused with low-grade cutaneous lymphomas and other vascular proliferations. We report a case of a 28-year-old male with a solitary 1.2 cm red polypoid papule on the middle posterior base of the neck. The histopathological examination revealed a well-circumscribed dermal nodular proliferation of banal-appearing lymphovascular spaces with plump endothelial cells. Immunohistochemical analysis showed a T-cell-rich infiltrate. The clinical-pathological differential diagnosis for TRAPP includes pyogenic granuloma, angiolymphoid hyperplasia (epithelioid hemangioma), acral pseudolymphomatous angiokeratoma of children, cutaneous lymphoid hyperplasia, and low-grade cutaneous lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders. We review the literature and discuss the key differentiating features between TRAPP and its common differential diagnoses.

Bacillary angiomatosis (BA) is an angioproliferative disease caused by species. It manifests as nodules or papules in immunocompromised patients. Oral lesions are very rare, unlike cutaneous lesions, and histopathology plays a vital role in distinguishing these lesions from other similar ones. Treatment mainly comprises macrolides erythromycin, clarithromycin, or doxycycline.
