Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia (TUGSE) is a benign lesion affecting the oral mucosa, which resembles oral squamous cell carcinoma. The aetiopathogenesis remains uncertain, although trauma is believed to be the major factor in its development. A biopsy is required to exclude malignancy, despite the ulcer being benign in nature. Histopathologically, this lesion is predominantly composed of eosinophils and other inflammatory cells in submucosa and mucosa. Treatment modalities include observation, antibiotics, steroid therapy and surgery. Thus, this case report is a rare documentation of TUGSE, an unlikely occurrence in the oral cavity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
