Solitary angiokeratoma of the tongue treated with diode laser.
Angiokeratoma is a muco-cutaneous disorder that is usually associated with a number of metabolic disorders. Involvement of the tongue with solitary angiokeratoma, without a systemic or metabolic disease, is very rare. To the best of our knowledge, we report the second case of solitary angiokeratoma of the tongue arising in a 16-year-old woman who was treated with diode laser (810 nm) in our department.
