Sumario: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.
