Abstract :

 Summary: Leiomyoma is a benign smooth muscle tumor that is rarely seen in the oral cavity. The diagnosis is mainly determined by histological

studies due to its unspecific clinical appearance. The common modalities of treatment of these lesions are surgical excision, cryotherapy and electro
surgery. However, in the last few decades, use of laser has been recommended for ablation of some oral soft tissue lesions. Laser treatment presents
less chance of postoperative complications and is patient friendly. The present case report describes one such rare case of oral leiomyoma
successfully treated with a diode laser.
