A 17-year-old healthy male presented with asymptomatic, multiple, grouped reddish lesions on the left flank region for past 6-months. There was a history of excision of a similar lesion at the same site one year back. Examination revealed multiple, closely set, deep red, dome shaped papules and nodules around the scar of previous surgical excision [Figure 1] that were nontender and did not bleed on manipulation. His haematological and biochemical investigations were within normal limits. Punch biopsy of a lesion demonstrated lobular proliferation of thin-walled capillaries in the dermis, consistent with lobular capillary haemangioma (pyogenic granuloma) [Figures 2a and 2b]. We report this case for its uncommon presentation.
