Abstract

Chronic ulcers of the oral mucosa are the lesions which a physician comes across frequently. “Eosinophilic Ulcer” is a rare variety of that. Eosinophilic ulcer or traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a chronic benign lesion of the oral mucosa and is a relatively recent delineated entity. Its etiopathogenesis is still uncertain but trauma seems to play a fundamental role. Clinically the lesion manifests as an isolated ulcer, showing a raised and indurated border in addition to a white or yellowish bed. Microscopically, it is characterized by diffuse polymorphic inflammatory infiltrate, rich in eosinophils, involving the superficial mucosa and the deeper muscle layer with epitheliod cells. Hereby, reporting a case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with a chief complaint of non-healing painful ulcer on the tongue.
