Introduction
Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular lesion that can clinically and dermoscopically imitate melanoma and other tumors [1]. In our case, pyogenic granuloma and nodular melanoma exhibited dermoscopic similarities. Some dermoscopic patterns, which include characteristics such as a yellow collarette, a reddish homogenous area, and the presence of white rail lines, can aid in diagnosing pyogenic granuloma [12]. Even though pyogenic granuloma is benign, histology is still necessary, especially in cases where vas-cular structures are present, as melanoma cannot be ruled out [1,3].
