Beyond the Bedsore: The Hidden Pyogenic Granuloma That Defied Healing
Arpita Agarwal, Dr. Kapildev H.
Abstract: A 70 - year - old bedridden male presented with a persistent lesion on his left buttock, initially misdiagnosed as a pressure ulcer. Despite standard care, the lesion failed to heal. A biopsy revealed pyogenic granuloma, and targeted treatment, including steroids, antibiotics, hydration, and nutritional support, resulted in rapid improvement. This case underscores the need for accurate diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing chronic wounds.
