ABSTRACT

Characteristically, pyogenic granuloma of the tongue is more common on the lateral side of the tongue. The reasons for this are unclear, but may be related to trauma from adjacent teeth or dentures. This article was prompted by the presentation of one patient with lesion in the midline of the anterior surface of the dorsum of the tongue. The lesion was successfully removed surgically, and histology revealed them to be pyogenic granuloma. There has been no evidence of recurrence in the 6 months of the follow-up period.
