Pyogenic granuloma, also called lobular capillary hemangioma, is a non-neoplastic, vascular reactive lesion of the skin and mucous membranes. While the majority of the oral pyogenic granuloma involve the gingiva, they also rarely present at other sites including lips, buccal mucosa, palate, and tongue. The most common treatment of pyogenic granuloma is surgical excision but alternative modern approaches such as laser excision have also been proposed which results in bloodless, painless and suture free procedure. Herein, we present a case of pyogenic granuloma on tongue which was excised successfully with diode laser as a conservative and non-stressful method. The use of laser as modern medicine offers a new tool for treatment of oral lesions as comfortable as possible in all patients.
