Traumatic ulcerative granuloma with stromal eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a
benign, chronic, reactive, self-healing lesion. It is composed of abundant
eosinophils and small lymphocytes. Several studies have shown varying observations on the relation of
tissue eosinophilia with the prognosis of oral cancer. Here, we present
a case of a 65-year-old male who presented with a non-healing ulcer on the
lateral border of tongue, which was suggestive of TUGSE on histopathological
examination. Patient was kept on strict monthly follow up and the second
re-biopsy was suggestive of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma.
Literature does not support the transformation of TUGSE to oral squamous cell
carcinoma; however, our experience suggests a close vigilance of such lesions
due to its high clinical resemblance to malignancy. Hence, repeat biopsies on
regular basis is mandatory in cases where the clinical picture is highly
suspicious.
