Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia. A case report and short literature review

Abstract

We introduce a case of 53-year-old female with rapidly developing tongue ulceration clinically mimicking squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa. After a microscopic examination traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) was diagnosed. In a short literature review, we characterize this entity, analyse its aetiology and nature. Differential diagnosis is also discussed.
