[Rare case of pyogenic granuloma of the tongue in an 8-week-old child].
In paper a case of pyogenic granuloma of the tongue in an 8-week-old child was presented. The signs and symptoms, etiological agents, surgical treatment, and complications are discussed. This case is the youngest case with an unusual location. The lesion was presented as sessile, soft, single and pink erythematous nodule with tendency to spontaneous hemorrhage, 3 cm in diameter. We performed conservative excision because of anaemia and not good condition of the child. We didn't observe recurrence of this lesion in follow-up after 2 weeks, 6 months and 3 years. We report this case to alert the otorhinolaryngologist of this rare condition. There have been very few reports in the literature of this condition.
