Disseminated congenital pyogenic granuloma ( DCPG ) is an uncommon condition. Individual lesions of DCPG share clinical and histologic similarities with infantile hemangioma ( IH ); endothelial glucose transporter 1 ( GLUT ‐1), which is highly expressed in IH but generally not in pyogenic granulomas ( PG ), is an important diagnostic tool. Treatment for DCPG remains difficult. We describe a case of DCPG effectively treated with propranolol.
