In this area, a mucocele generally results from trauma. The diagnosis of mucoceles is based on clinical and histopathological examinations and the recommended treatment is surgical excision. Case Report: This report describes a case of mucocele of the glands of Blandin-Nuhn (MGBN) affecting a 20-year-old male. Oval-shaped swelling with a smooth and bright surface of soft consistency was observed on the ventral surface of the individual\u2019s tongue. The diagnostic hypothesis was mucocele. Surgical excision was performed in a single session with a diode laser. A histopathological examination revealed mucus extravasating into connective tissue, with foamy macrophages and granulation tissue. Conclusion: The high-intensity laser was a safe and effective tool for treating MGBN. No need for a suture, minimal or no intraoperative bleeding, and a minimal report of pain and edema by the patient were observed. A diode laser may be a helpful tool because it is less invasive and it is safe and effective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/jlms.2021.27","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,10]],"date-time":"2021-07-10T12:29:32Z","timestamp":1625920172000},"page":"e27-e27","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Management of Mucocele of the Glands of Blandin-Nuhn With a High-Intensity Laser: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0052-8222","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rayla Bentes","family":"Kato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Dentistry, Centro Universit\u00e1rio do Par\u00e1 \u2013 CESUPA, Bel\u00e9m, Par\u00e1, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1105-2191","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Humberto","family":"J\u00e1come-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Surgery, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5104-8640","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ana Paula Guerreiro Rodrigues","family":"Couto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Dentistry, Centro Universit\u00e1rio do Par\u00e1 \u2013 CESUPA, Bel\u00e9m, Par\u00e1, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2258-8071","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lucas Guimar\u00e3es","family":"Abreu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3207-4007","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ricardo Alves","family":"Mesquita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Surgery, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9963-1707","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Camila Nazar\u00e9 Alves de Oliveira","family":"Kato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Pathology and Surgery, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,20]]},"container-title":["Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/31623\/27297","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/31623\/27297","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,10]],"date-time":"2021-07-10T12:29:33Z","timestamp":1625920173000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/31623"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,20]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/jlms.2021.27","relation":{},"ISSN":["2008-9783","2228-6721"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"2008-9783"},{"type":"electronic","value":"2228-6721"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,20]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Laser Application in Medical Sciences Research Center","name":"journal_owner","label":"Journal Owner"},{"value":"Laser Application in Medical Sciences Research Center","name":"journal_publisher","label":"Journal Publisher"},{"value":"2020-10-16","order":1,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-02-21","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2021-06-20","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
