摘要：

A 58-year-old man was referred to our department for evaluation and treatment of a therapy-resistant pyogenic granuloma on his right third digit. This biopsy-confirmed lesion was unsuccessfully treated with shave excision and base electrocautery on two separate occasions before the patient presented to our clinic. After completing a 14-week course of twice-weekly imiquimod 5% topical application, this patient's pyogenic granuloma completely resolved. A satisfactory cosmetic outcome was also achieved, with virtually no scarring.
