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.
