Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia, commonly known as Eosinophilic Ulcer, is a reactive solitary and self-limiting benign lesion. It manifests as a punched-out ulcer with a distinct surrounding indurated border, often raising concerns about malignancy.

A 44-year-old male presented with a painless, indurated tongue ulcer evolving over three months. Despite being asymptomatic, the patient underwent an incisional biopsy due to suspicions of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Histological analysis revealed a disrupted epithelial lining, dense necrotic connective tissue, and a fibrino-purulent pseudomembrane. Proximal to the ulcer, a collar-like projection of reactive epithelial tissue hyperplasia was noted, accompanied by mononuclear cells and a predominantly histiocytic infiltrate in the submucosal layer surrounding skeletal muscle fibers. The final diagnosis was Traumatic Ulcerative Granuloma with Stromal Eosinophilia. Remarkably, the lesion spontaneously healed within 2 weeks post-biopsy, with no recurrence over 6 months.

This case emphasizes considering this benign condition in the differential diagnosis of oral ulcers, highlighting the importance of accurate histopathological evaluation to rule out cancer.
