Abstract

We present a case of partially involuting congenital hemangioma (PICH) that showed rapid growth with ulceration after incisional biopsy. PICH does not typically grow after birth. However, if growth occurs due to stimuli like biopsy, it is essential to consider the possibility of pyogenic granuloma complication.
