Tongue granulomatous lesion caused by mandibular primary incisors eruption.
The aim of this report was to present a case of granulomatous lesion on the ventral surface of the tongue in a 9-month-old, healthy, infant girl, caused by the habit of scraping the tongue on mandibular central incisors. Clinical treatment consisted of manual smoothing of the sharp edges of both incisors and excision of the 2-cm pediculate ulcerative granulomatous mass localized on the ventral surface of the tongue. After 3 weeks, the child could be properly fed and a complete healing of the lesion was observed.
