Resumen:
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 e ect 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.
