    <abstract locale="en_US">Blood vessel defects or endothelial proliferation can cause vascular lesions. Capillary hemangiomas are produced in a connective tissue stroma by small capillaries surrounded by a layer of endothelial cells. Numerous procedures, including excisional surgery, sclerotherapy, and laser irradiation, are used to treat these conditions. This study presents a clinical case of surgical removal of a hemangioma in the buccal mucous membrane using a defocused irradiation mode of a diode laser. A 47-year-old woman with a purple lesion in the mucous membrane of the right cheek was referred to Jihad Dental Clinic. The Diode laser, with a wavelength of 980nm, was selected for treating the lesion in defocused mode at an output power of 2.5 W in continuous mode. In surgery, no bleeding was observed, which provided the surgeon with better vision and resulted in a minimally invasive procedure. Due to fewer postoperative complications, using laser diodes in the treatment of oral hemangioma as a conservative approach, and providing simple surgical procedures with minimal side effects, may be beneficial to both patients and doctors.&#xA0;
