Article Synopsis
- Apremilast is an oral medication used to treat psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and oral ulcers in Behçet's disease, with a study analyzing its use among 41 patients in relation to biological treatments.
- The majority of patients (85.4%) took apremilast for psoriasis, often due to inadequate results from previous treatments, and the medication's continuation wasn't significantly affected by prior biologic use.
- The main reason for stopping apremilast was lack of effective disease control (60.0%), with many patients transitioning to biologic therapies thereafter.

We present a case in a 13-year-old girl that was initially misdiagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. Familiarity with this entity and imaging and histologic studies are necessary to avoid incorrect diagnoses and aggressive surgical interventions.
