Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a tumor with regular growth expressed usually in the oral cavity, expressing characteristics of a non-neoplastic lesion. The first treatment option is surgical excision, which can be proceeded with surgical diode lasers (940 nm). This case report focuses on the surgical excision of a PG located in the lower lip using diode lasers. Post-operative follow-up of 6 months demonstrated adequate healing without esthetical compromise and no lesion recurrence, showing that diode lasers can be a safe and effective alternative for PG removal.
化脓性肉芽肿(PG)是一种生长规律的肿瘤,通常出现在口腔内,具有非肿瘤性病变的特征。首选治疗方法是手术切除,可使用外科二极管激光(940纳米)进行。本病例报告重点介绍了使用二极管激光对下唇的化脓性肉芽肿进行手术切除的情况。6个月的术后随访显示愈合良好,没有美观问题,也没有病变复发,表明二极管激光可作为切除化脓性肉芽肿的一种安全有效的替代方法。
