Abstract

Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a rare benign self-limiting reactive lesion. Clinically it presents as asymptomatic to painful non-healing ulcer with raised and indurated border mimicking oral squamous cell carcinoma. Biopsy is indicated when oral malignancy cannot be excluded. The presence of eosinophil rich mixed inflammatory infiltration is the characteristic for diagnosis of TUGSE. Biopsy procedure can promote the healing process leading to normal wound healing. This report presents a case of 67-year-old female suffering from a large painful chronic ulcer with indurated and irregular surface at lower lip and left buccal mucosa. The patient had history of several recurrent episodes in one and a half year. Final diagnosis was acquired by histopathological report. The ulcer resolved spontaneously after tissue biopsy. The possible etiological factor was ruled out and removed. No recurrence was found after 6-month follow-up.
