Abstract A middle aged uncircumcised man presented with a painless growth on the glans penis which started 6 months back as a pinhead sized papule and rapidly progressed in size. The patient reported occasional bleeding from the lesion on minimal trauma. The patient was unable to perform sexual intercourse owing to the size of lesion and concern of bleeding. The patient was in monogamous relationship with his wife and denied any high risk sexual behaviour. On examination, there was a non-tender, oval, dark red, smooth, shiny, exophytic pedunculated growth of size 2.5 cm × 2 cm × 0.5 cm on the glans with a small but broad pedicle at the base of the lesion (Fig. 1). Histopathological examination of the mucosal biopsy from the lesion revealed lobular proliferation of capillaries with thinned out epithelium (Fig. 2). The diagnosis of penile pyogenic granuloma (PG) was reached on the basis of above findings. The lesion was referred to urology services and the lesion was surgically excised.
