Head and neck vascular tumors are common in children. Capillary hemangiomas are often easily confused with pyogenic granulomas due to histopathological resemblance. Furthermore, predisposing factors to pyogenic granulomas include an existing hemangioma, which may be co-existing entities. Surgical excision of large unsightly tumors causing functional deficits is a feasible management option. We report a case of a rapidly growing oral lesion in a toddler with feeding difficulties and anemia. It triggered a diagnostic dilemma as it was clinically consistent with a pyogenic granuloma but histologically diagnosed as a capillary hemangioma. It was successfully excised with no recurrence after 6 months.
