“…Depending on the area, size and patient wishes, curettage, electrocautery, radiosurgery, cryosurgery, sclerotherapy, or laser treatment are alternative options. Among lasers, diode lasers of wave-length between 808 to 980 nm [ 38 - 40 ] or solid-state neodymium - yttrium aluminium garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers [ 41 , 42 ], erbium-YAG and CO 2 lasers [ 43 , 44 ] have all been used successfully. Erbium-YAG laser lacks coagulation, what may become a disadvantage in larger lesions.…”

Pyogenic granuloma is a common benign vascular tumour occurring in all ages. Both skin and mucous membranes can be affected. Of pathogenetic importance are trauma, BRAF mutations and probably herpes virus type 1, Orf virus and/or human papilloma virus type 2. The tumour consists of capillary proliferations, venules and fibromyxoid stroma. The development of a lesion occurs in three stages and bleeding is a common symptom. The tumour can mimic various other vascular lesions, solid tumours, and soft tissue infections. In recent years, targeted tumour therapies have become the most common cause of drug-induced pyogenic granulomas. The backbone of treatment is surgical procedures including laser therapy. New developments in medical drug therapy include topical and systemic beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists timolol and propranolol. Drug therapy is an alternative for young children, ocular and periungual pyogenic granuloma.

Pyogenic granuloma is a benign vascular proliferation of the skin and mucous membranes, whose pathogenesis is not fully understood. Despite its benign nature, it can have a significant negative impact on patients’ quality of life, and therefore appropriate therapy is needed. Over the years, a lot of therapeutic modalities have been used in order to successfully treat this condition. This paper is an updated systematic overview of all the reported successful treatments described in the literature and was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. Articles derived from the databases PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS, published between 1981 and 2018, were analyzed for this study. In the literature, there are several studies, case series, and case reports that demonstrate encouraging results with the use of various methods, such as surgical intervention or laser treatment, but also with more conservative approaches, including the application of topical and systemic agents. The selection of the appropriate treatment should be made individually, depending on severity of the disease and patient characteristics. Both research efforts as well as clinical reporting are necessary in order to provide more insight on the management of these vascular tumors. This paper aims to provide a summarized update on the reported therapies and to raise awareness for the need to conduct larger systematic studies in order to adequately evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the presented therapeutic strategies.

“…The diode laser is a very versatile device; as Al-Mohaya et al stated, such laser can be used for surgery in uncontrolled diabetic patients, in which a bloodless surgical site and excellent post-operative healing are important [31].…”

A Single Case Report of Granular Cell Tumor of the Tongue Successfully Treated through 445 nm Diode Laser

et al. 2020

Oral granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare, benign lesion that can easily be misdiagnosed. Particularly, the presence of pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia might, in some cases, lead to the hypothesis of squamous cell carcinoma. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Recurrence has been reported in up to 15% of cases treated with conventional surgery. Here, we reported a case of GCT of the tongue in a young female patient, which was successfully treated through 445 nm diode laser excision. Laser surgery might reduce bleeding and postoperative pain and may be associated with more rapid healing. Particularly, the vaporization effect on remnant tissues could eliminate GCT cells on the surgical bed, thus hypothetically leading to a lower rate of recurrence. In the present case, complete healing occurred in 1 week, and no recurrence was observed after 6 months. Laser surgery also allows the possibility to obtain second intention healing. Possible laser-induced histopathological artifacts should be carefully considered.
