N2 - Purpose: To report a case of conjunctival pyogenic granuloma after intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, bevacizumab. Methods: A 52-year-old patient after 3 intravitreal bevacizumab injections was found to have a vascular conjunctival nodule at the injection site. A pathologic analysis of the vascular conjunctival nodule was performed after surgical excision. Results: The pathologic analysis revealed a conjunctival pyogenic granuloma. Conclusion: Conjunctival pyogenic granuloma can complicate an otherwise uneventful intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injection.
